Constitution of India - Constituent Assembly and Committees

The first attempt to frame a constitution by Indians is considered to be the Nehru Report presented at the Congress conference in 1928 under the chairmanship of Moti Lal Nehru. Representatives in the Constituent Assembly were elected by the elected members of the Provincial Assembly in 1945. The proposal to give a constitution to India was passed by the Constituent Assembly on 22 January 1947.

The Constitution of India was prepared by the Constituent Assembly, whose first meeting was held on 9 December 1946 in New Delhi. The Muslim League boycotted this meeting. Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha, the senior most member of the meeting, was elected as the temporary president of this meeting. On 11 December 1946, Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected the permanent President of the Constituent Assembly. A total of 12 sessions were held by the Constituent Assembly during the making of the Constitution. Out of which the 11th session took place on 26 November 1949, and the constitution was adopted, while the 12th session took place on 24 January 1950, in which the constitution was signed by the members.

The last meeting of the Constituent Assembly took place on 24 January 1950 and the constitution prepared on this day was signed by the members of the Constituent Assembly and Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected the first President of India. On 26 January 1950, the entire constitution was implemented and India was declared a republic.

A seven-member drafting committee was formed under the chairmanship of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar to consider the draft of the constitution prepared by Shri B.N. Rao (Sir Benegal Narasimha Rao), the constitutional advisor of the Constituent Assembly. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar is called the 'Father of the Constituent Assembly' because of his contribution to the Drafting Committee. The Secretary of the Constituent Assembly was B.I. Iyengar.

Why only 26 January?

The reason for choosing January 26 to implement the constitution is that in the December 1929 session of the Congress in Lahore, a resolution for full independence was passed and it was decided to celebrate January 26 every year as Independence Day.

Fault – Endogenous Force

Fault – Endogenous Force The relief of our earth is full of variations and contrasts. Due to fault-endogenous force on the upper surface of the earth, some fault valley, ramp valley have been formed. Somewhere there are deep trenches, and somewhere there is sea. In some places there are snow-filled glaciers and mountain ranges, where there is no trace of vegetation, then there are also marshy places, which are full of oddities and mysteries. Have we ever thought, what is the reason for all these differences? The answer is –  Internal Structure Of The Earth  Mainly two types of forces work on the earth, which are as follows – Endogenous forces – By these, disparities are created on the earth. Like – Earthquake, Tsunami, Long term force etc. Exogenous Forces – These are the plane stabilizing forces of the earth. Like – flowing water, sea water, glacier, wind etc. Genetic Terminology - Genetics 1. Endogenous Force As we said above, inequalities are created on the earth by endoge...

Bt Toxin

Bt Crop Containing Bt Toxin Gene Bt refers to Bacillus thuringiensis i.e. Bt crop contains the amount of toxin obtained from the above bacterium or rather Bt toxin is formed in these crops which is active only when the crop is eaten by insects. In this way, after eating the crop, this toxin becomes active by going into the intestine of the insect and the insect dies. Pongal : A South Indian Festival Now the question arises that how did this poison reach inside the plants. Bt bacteria store many toxin proteins inside their spores and this toxin protein is made by the Bt toxin gene present inside the bacterium, that is, this toxin is produced by the Bt toxin gene. By biotechnology, this toxin gene is isolated from the bacterium and put in the gene of crop plants, due to which this toxin starts forming inside the crop plants as well. Exogenous Forces - Weathering and Erosion When Bt toxin is in the cell of bacteria or crop plants, then it is in dormant state and at this time it is called...
