Indian National Flag was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on which date ?
22 July 1947
The national flag was adopted on 22 July 1947 — option 4, three weeks before independence.
Why so early. The Constituent Assembly needed a flag to fly on 15 August 1947, so the design had to be settled before that date, long before the Constitution itself was ready. An ad hoc committee under Dr Rajendra Prasad recommended adapting the Congress tricolour by replacing the charkha at its centre with the Ashoka Chakra from the Sarnath lion capital — so that the flag should belong to the whole nation rather than to a single party. The Assembly accepted the design on 22 July 1947, on a motion moved by Jawaharlal Nehru.
| Date | What was adopted |
|---|---|
| 22 July 1947 | National Flag |
| 24 January 1950 | National Anthem (Jana Gana Mana) and National Song (Vande Mataram); the Assembly’s last sitting, at which members signed the Constitution |
| 26 November 1949 | Constitution adopted by the Constituent Assembly |
| 26 January 1950 | Constitution came into force |
The three wrong options are therefore all real and important dates, which is exactly why they are offered — the question tests whether the candidate can keep four closely related dates apart. Note that option 1 gives 26 November 1950, a year later than the true date of the Constitution’s adoption.
The flag itself. Deep saffron, white and India green in equal horizontal bands, with a ratio of 3 : 2, and a navy blue Ashoka Chakra of 24 spokes at the centre of the white band. Its use is governed by the Flag Code of India, 2002 and by the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971. The design derives from the flag proposed by Pingali Venkayya.
Hence, the answer is 22 July 1947.
