The first meeting of the Constituent Assembly of India was held on 9th December 1946, at the Constitution Hall in New Delhi. The meeting was presided over by Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha, who was the oldest member of the assembly. The meeting began with the swearing-in of the members, followed by the election of the president and other office bearers.

The Constituent Assembly of India continued to meet over the next few years, and on 26th January 1950, it finally adopted the Constitution of India. The adoption of the constitution marked a significant milestone in India's history and established the country as a democratic republic.
