The state is at the forefront of outstanding research and enterprise. May Karnataka scales newer heights of success in the times to come," the Prime Minister wrote in the following tweets.
Kerala
Kerala celebrates its founding day as Kerala Piravi Day. It was formed on November 1, 1956, long after the Independence of the country. Before this, Kerala was part of three major provinces and several outlying regions under various rulers.
Madhya Pradesh
Situated in the heart of the country, Madhya Pradesh was formed in 1956. Before this, Bhopal, presently the capital of MP, was a separate state. It evolved out of the princely state of Bhopal. Later, the government merged Bhopal with the neighbouring states and formed the state, now known as Madhya Pradesh.
Chhattisgarh
The state celebrates its formation day as 'Chhattisgarh Rajyotsava.' Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh and was declared an independent state by the government in 2000.
Karnataka
On November 1 in 1956, the government merged all the Kannada language-speaking regions of south and western India to form the present state of Karnataka. It was initially called Mysore but was renamed 'Karnataka' in 1973.
Haryana
The state which shares a border with the national capital was constituted in 1966. It was a result of the division of the former state of Punjab into two separate states—Punjabi-speaking Punjab and Hindi-speaking Haryana.
