About the project

Constituent Assembly Debates have been sourced from the work of Constitutionofindia.net. Lok Sabha Debates have been scraped from documentation of over 2300 LS sessions from 1985 to 2019 from sansad.in and other sources. State Legislature Debates have been collected from various state assembly archives.

On 13 December 1946, the Constituent Assembly formally commenced its task of framing the Constitution of India. Jawaharlal Nehru moved the Objectives Resolution, which aimed to declare India as an Independent Sovereign Republic and create a Constitution to govern its future. On January 26, 1950, the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India.

The sourcecode used to create the Observer and scripts used to obtain the data is available at this Github organisation.
