Andhra Pradesh Formation Day is celebrated on November 1st every year. This day marks the creation of the state of Andhra Pradesh as a separate entity from the former Madras State on November 1, 1956. Andhra Pradesh was formed following the linguistic reorganization of states in India, which aimed to create states based on linguistic and cultural affinities.
The new state of Andhra Pradesh was created to accommodate the Telugu-speaking population of the region, as it was predominantly Telugu-speaking. The city of Kurnool served as the temporary capital of Andhra Pradesh, while the new capital, Hyderabad, was designated as a shared capital for both Andhra Pradesh and the newly formed state of Telangana.
However, in 2014, Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated to create a separate state of Telangana, with Hyderabad becoming the capital of Telangana. Subsequently, Andhra Pradesh's new capital, Amaravati, was planned and is still under development.
Andhra Pradesh Formation Day is celebrated to commemorate the historical and cultural significance of the state's creation and to remember its rich heritage and contributions to the Indian Union. It is marked with various cultural events, programs, and celebrations throughout the state.
