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. The second reading, which includes clause by clause debate and is the most major part of consideration of any Bill in the Parliament, started on November 15, 1948 and ended on October 17, 1949. The third and the final reading started don November 14, 1949 after which the motion to pass the Constitution was adopted.
The Assembly met once again on 24 January, 1950, when the members appended their signatures to the Constitution of India. Out of the 299 members of the Constituent Assembly, only 284 were present on that day and signed the Constitution. This is also the date mentioned in the Preamble on which the people of India adopted, enacted and gave to themselves this Constitution.
