The story of making Indian Constitution started when some of Indian scholars thought that there should be a specific laws & rules to run our independent country.

Following this thought in 1946, 9 December there was the first meeting held regarding to make Constitution in the constitution hall (now the Central Hall of Parliament House) and decided to make  Sachchidananda Sinha as temporary president .

At the 2nd meeting held on 11 December 1946; The Assembly appointed Rajendra Prasad as its permanent president, H. C. Mukherjee as its vice-chairman and B. N. Rau as constitutional legal adviser. There were initially 389 members in total, which declined to 299 after partition. Out of the 389 members, 292 were from government provinces, four from chief commissioner provinces and 93 from princely states.

After Independence, 22 July 1947  National flag adopted and on 29 August 1947 Drafting Committee appointed  B. R. Ambedkar as its Chairman, who is known as the Father of Indian Constitution . He had studied the constitutions of about 60 countries.

The other six members of Drafting committee were Munshi, Muhammed Sadulla from Assam, Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer, N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar, Khaitan and Mitter. To the purpose of making The Indan Constitution there were 11 meetings held .

The process of making Constitution took 2 years, 11 months and 18 days. On 26 November 1949 The Constitution of India was ready, passed and adopted by the assembly.

On 24 January 1950 last meeting of Constituent Assembly held. After many deliberations and some modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly ( Sarijini Naidu and were the only two female members )signed two hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 January 1950. Two days later which was on 26 January 1950 Thursday, it came into effect throughout the whole nation.
