How Samvidhan is built

Structured data, not documents. Every Article, clause, schedule, amendment, glossary term and judgment is a typed database record with links between them. Pages are views over that graph.

Automated, hash-gated sync. A pipeline re-fetches the sources, hashes every record, and writes only what changed — so when the law changes, the site follows, and nothing is silently rewritten.

Two layers, clearly separated. The legal text layer is reproduced exactly from open datasets of the official consolidated edition and is never paraphrased. The plain-language layer (Plain, Story, ELI5 modes, case summaries) is AI-assisted and labelled as such. It is education, not legal advice.

Sources.Legal text: civictech-India's open dataset of the consolidated edition. Schedules: Wikisource (2020 edition). Amendments: Wikipedia's list of Constitution Amendment Acts. Judgment metadata: public records, linked out to Indian Kanoon. Verify critical use against the Legislative Department's official edition.

Verified against the official text.Wikipedia and Wikisource are convenience sources only. A verification pass cross-checks every Article against the Legislative Department's official consolidated PDF (as on 1 May 2024) and confirms the latest amendment; the match report below is regenerated on every verification run.
