Uttarakhand Foundation Day also known as Uttarakhand Diwas or Uttarakhand Day is celebrated on November 9, every year. On November 9, 2000, Uttarakhand state was formed out from Uttar Pradesh.
The state of Uttarakhand has very rich natural resources which include glaciers, rivers, dense forests and snow-capped mountain peaks. It also houses the four most sacred and revered Hindu temples
also known as the Char Dham of Uttarakhand. Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamanotri. The capital of the state is Dehradun and the winter capital is Gairsain.

How was Uttarakhand formed?

The Princely State acceded to the Union of India in 1949. In 1950, this United Province was renamed Uttar Pradesh. However, the government of Uttar Pradesh could not meet the needs of people belonging to this Himalayan region. Hence, people started demanding a separate state following the formation of the Uttarakhand Kranti Dal. There was a widespread statehood movement in the 90s which became violent in 1994. The activists of this statehood movement kept on struggling for years and finally, on November 9, 2000, Uttaranchal, the 27th state of India, was formed by the Uttar Pradesh Regulation Act, of 2000.

On January 1, 2007, Uttaranchal was renamed as Uttarakhand.

The name Uttarakhand is derived from the Sanskrit dialect which literally means ‘Northern City’. On January 1, 2007, its name was changed to Uttarakhand. The state is an amalgamation of culture, ethnicity and religion and is one of the most visited tourist destinations in India. The border states of Uttarakhand include Tibet, Nepal, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
