Kathmandu- "The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself." – Benjamin Franklin 

The 3rd of Asoj in the Nepali calendar is a day when the Nepali peoples' cherished dream of a people-drafted constitution came true. Tomorrow is the 3rd of Asoj and it marks the completion of six years of promulgation of the Constitution through the historic Constituent Assembly (CA).   
The present constitution was promulgated on 20 September 2015 from the Constituent Assembly with the support of more than 90 per cent people's representatives in unprecedented circumstances.
