Uttar Pradesh Statehood Day  ||
76th Foundation Day of #UttarPradesh 

आज उत्तर प्रदेश राज्य का 76वां स्थापना दिवस है। राज्य का आधिकारिक गठन 24 जनवरी, 1950 को हुआ था।

The Government of Uttar Pradesh celebrates 'Uttar Pradesh Divas' on 24 January every year, the day when the erstwhile United Provinces was renamed in 1950. On January 24, 1950, the Governor General of India passed United Provinces (Alteration of Name) Order 1950, renaming United Provinces as Uttar Pradesh.

Uttar Pradesh Foundation Day celebrations began in 2017, after then-Governor Ram Naik suggested the idea of marking January 24 as Uttar Pradesh Day. The state first observed its foundation day in 2018, marking 68 years since India’s independence.
