The date January 26 was chosen for the commencement of the constitution because of its historical importance. At the Lahore Session of the Congress held in December 1929, a resolution was passed which declared Poorna Swaraj or Complete Independence to be the objective of the Congress. January 26, 1930 was fixed as the first Independence Day, which was to be celebrated every year. Since then the day was celebrated as Independence Day up to 1947. Later, to maintain its importance January 26 was chosen for enforcement of constitution and was designated as Republic day.
