Q.7 (4) Write the information about the Reorganisation of following States. (a) Jharkhand (b) Telangana (c) Uttarakhand
Best answer
Answer: After the linguistic reorganisation of 1956, new states were later formed for better administration and the development of backward regions.
(a) Jharkhand: The tribal people of the Chhota Nagpur plateau in southern Bihar felt that their region, though rich in minerals and forests, remained backward. A long movement led by organisations such as the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha demanded a separate state. Jharkhand was carved out of Bihar on 15 November 2000 with Ranchi as its capital.
(b) Telangana: The Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh complained of neglect in water, jobs and development. Agitations from 1969 onwards, and later the movement led by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (K. Chandrashekhar Rao), pressed the demand. Telangana became the 29th state of India on 2 June 2014, with Hyderabad as its capital.
(c) Uttarakhand: The people of the hilly regions of Uttar Pradesh (Garhwal and Kumaon) had special problems of geography, poverty and lack of development and demanded a separate hill state. Uttaranchal was formed from Uttar Pradesh on 9 November 2000 with Dehradun as its capital; it was renamed Uttarakhand in 2007.
