Madhya Pradesh Foundation Day

Madhya Pradesh Day is a state holiday which is celebrated in 1 November on the occasion of formation of Madhya Pradesh.

History

It was started from 1 November 1956 when Central Provinces and Berar, Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal joined and formed Madhya Pradesh. At the time of 1st Madhya Pradesh Foundation Day, Bhopal was chosen as capital of Madhya Pradesh. In 2022, Madhya Pradesh celebrated 67th Madhya Pradesh Foundation Day at Lal Parade Ground, Bhopal. It celebrates this day with Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab and Haryana. 2022 or 67th Madhya Pradesh Day was celebrated as Jan Utsav or festival.

Programs and celebration

In Madhya Pradesh Day various programs and celebration are organized from 1 November to 7 November, including:

 

• Ladli Laxmi Yojana
• Sports
• Cuisine competitions
• Drama
• Painting competition
• Folk dance

Preparations are being made for celebrations in the state on the 68th Foundation Day of Madhya Pradesh. This day will be celebrated tomorrow i.e. on 1st November. Like every time, this year also BJP and Congress will leave no stone unturned regarding this programme. Since it is an election year, this time’s program is going to be very interesting. On this occasion, we know how the state was formed in 34 months and then how the Prime Minister of India named it.

Earlier CP and Brar were known.

Some time after the independence of the country and before that, Madhya Pradesh was known as Central Province i.e. Central Province and Berar i.e. CP & Berar. The princely states were united in Azad Bharat. After this, from November 1, 1956, our state started being called Madhya Pradesh.

MP was made up of 4 statesMadhya Pradesh was formed by combining CP & Berar, Central India (Gwalior-Chambal), Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal. For this, the State Reorganization Commission was formed in independent India. The Commission had the responsibility of creating a state as big as Uttar Pradesh, because it was to be created by combining Mahakaushal, Gwalior-Chambal, Vindhya Pradesh and the surrounding parts of Bhopal.

The challenge becomes even bigger because the pre-existing states had their own separate identities and also had their own separate assemblies. When these states started being united, the princely states started opposing it. In such a situation, the Commission took about 34 months to complete all the agreements.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 1 greeted the people of Madhya Pradesh on the State’s Foundation Day and said it is achieving new heights of development and making important contributions in realising the nation’s resolutions in ‘Amrit Kaal’.

Madhya Pradesh State was formed on November 1, 1956 following the reorganisation of States:

As the State is celebrating its 68th Foundation Day on November 1. The M.P. Assembly polls are scheduled later this month due to which the model code of conduct has been enforced in the State.

“My heartiest greetings to all the family members of Madhya Pradesh on the foundation day of the State. Our Madhya Pradesh, which is touching new heights of development every day, is making an important contribution to realising the country’s resolutions in Amrit Kaal. I wish that this state continues to move forward on the path of progress,” PM Modi said in a post on X.

Elections to the 230-member State Assembly will be held on November 17.
