Marking 75th year of Constitution adoption, India to get Constitution Museum
Constituent Assembly of India
On 26th November 2024, marking the 75th year of the adoption of the Indian Constitution by the Constituent Assembly, India will get a Constitution Museum that offers tributes to all 299 members of the Indian Constituent Assembly (the entity that drafted the Indian Constitution). The Museum, situated at the JGU Campus in Haryana, will feature sculptures, paintings, art forms, and panels, providing detailed information about every member of the Constituent Assembly, and their contributions to the Constitution.
The museum will also feature an interactive guide dubbed SAMVID - Smart Assistant for Museum Visitors and Interactive Displays, developed by IIT Madras and JGU.

The implementation of SAMVID is being carried out by IIT Madras' Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Robotics Centre at IIT Madras.
“By blending technology with heritage, we can provide an immersive experience to visitors at the Constitution Museum to engage with our nation's foundational legacy,” said Prof Venkatesh Balasubramanian, Head, RBG, Dept of Engg Design, IIT Madras.
Among the exhibits at the Museum would be the pieces from the original handcrafted document and artworks inspired by the Constitution. According to those working on setting up the Constitution Museum, the upcoming facility is aimed at promoting civic education among ordinary people, helping them understand and appreciate the history of the Constitution. It also aims at democratising access to the Constitution, which is perceived as confined to those in the legal profession.

The Constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November 1949 and came into force on 26th January 1950. The Constituent Assembly took almost three years (two years, eleven months, and seventeen days) to complete its historic task of drafting the Constitution for Independent India. During this period, it held eleven sessions covering a total of 165 days. Of these, 114 days were spent on the consideration of the Draft Constitution.
Constitution Day, also known as 'Samvidhan Divas', is celebrated in India on 26th November to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. The 75-year journey of the Constitution of India, including its continuous interpretation by the courts and the various amendments by Parliament, makes it among the world’s most dynamic and evolving constitutions.
