💡 Solution & Explanation

The historic Purna Swaraj declaration was formally proclaimed on 26 January 1930 after the Indian National Congress adopted the complete independence resolution at its Lahore session under the presidency of Jawaharlal Nehru. The date was subsequently chosen for the formal inauguration of the Indian Constitution in 1950 to honor the historical significance of that early freedom pledge.
