New Delhi: Republic Day 2022 is celebrated every year in India with great pomp. Today we are celebrating our 73rd Republic Day. In such a situation, the question must also be coming to your mind that why Republic Day is celebrated on 26 January? In such a situation, you will get the answer to every question related to Republic Day in this article.
It is to be known that the Constitution of India came into force in the year 1950. The Constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949. Then on 26 January 1950, the constitution came into force with a democratic government system. It took two years, 11 months, and 18 days to implement it. On this day the country was declared a full republic.
It is noteworthy that even though India got independence on 15 August 1947. But on 26 January 1950, the first President of the country, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, announced the declaration of India as a full republic by hoisting the flag with a 21-gun salute. Since this announcement by the President, we celebrate 26 January every year as Republic Day. This day is declared a national holiday across the country.
On the occasion of Republic Day, the President and Prime Minister of the country salute the martyrs of the country at the Amar Jawan Jyoti located at India Gate in the capital Delhi. But now the Amar Jawan Jyoti has been installed in the War Memorial. This change has happened only a few days ago this year. On this day, programs are organized in schools and colleges.
