Sakshi Education

Telangana Day, also known as Telangana Formation Day, is celebrated on June 2 every year. Being observed since 2014, when Telangana was carved out of erstwhile unified Andhra Pradesh, today marks the 9th Telangana Formation Day.
Telangana was India's 29th state when it was founded, but after Jammu and Kashmir was designated as a UT in 2019, the country's youngest state became the 28th state. Telangana Formation Day is observed with great pomp and fervor throughout the state. The day is a public holiday in Telangana and is observed by a range of events and cultural activities organized by both government and private organizations around the state.
Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao was elected as the first chief minister of Telangana.
Every year, various programs and events are organized by the state government to celebrate Telangana Formation Day.
The roots of the Telangana movement to make it a separate state can be traced back to 1955 when the States Reorganisation Commission's recommendation to keep Hyderabad as a separate state was ignored.
Significance: Because of the long-running Telangana movement, the day is noteworthy in the state's history. Telangana was approximately 50 years in the making until it was finally recognized as a separate state. This day, June 2, commemorates the Telangana movement's achievement in forcing Andhra Pradesh's bifurcation. This not only gave the people of the region a distinct identity but also changed India's map.
