Uttarakhand Foundation Day is celebrated every year to mark the formation of the state in 2000. The northern state, known for its cultural heritage, was carved out of Uttar Pradesh on November 9, 2000, becoming the 27th state of India.
Every year, on November 9, Uttarakhand Foundation Day or Uttarakhand Diwas is celebrated to commemorate the historic event of Uttarakhand’s recognition as a separate state. The northern state that embodies the spirituality of the Himalayas is gearing up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its formation this year.
The state was initially named Uttaranchal and its name was officially changed to Uttarakhand in 2007.
One of the most scenic and culturally vibrant states of the country is known for its picturesque landscapes,
holy rivers, revered pilgrimage sites and rich cultural heritage. Uttarakhand Diwas is a celebration of the state’s own identity, culture and traditions.
The day signifies the journey of Uttarakhand since its formation in 2000, when the hilly regions were carved out of Uttar Pradesh as a separate entity to pursue their own path of development.
The people of the state take this opportunity every year to look back at their history, from the difficult times they faced to the progress they have made, while preserving the region’s spiritual and cultural identity.

History of Uttarakhand’s Formation
The origin of Uttarakhand lies in the long-fought struggle and determination of its people for their own identity. Before the establishment of the state, the region, then called Uttaranchal, was a part of Uttar Pradesh. The call for a separate state gathered momentum over the years as residents advocated for the recognition of their culture and the challenges of the region.
After a long struggle, the dream came true on November 9, 2000, when Uttarakhand was formed as the 27th state of India. The formation was not only an administrative change but also an emotional triumph for the people of the state who aspired for their own identity over generations.
Uttarakhand Foundation Day holds a notable place in the hearts of the people of the state. The day also serves as an occasion to celebrate the state’s rich tradition of harmonious living with nature. Stretching from the snow-capped Himalayas to the holy shrines such as Kedarnath and Badrinath, the state is a perfect blend of spirituality and natural magnificence.
Significance of Uttarakhand Foundation Day
The day highlights the spiritual strength of the state and the harmonious living with nature. There is no doubt that Uttarakhand remains a paradise for nature lovers and seekers of spiritual enlightenment.
The day also signifies the state’s rich tradition of preserving the serene Himalayas and upholding spiritual identity as the abode of some revered pilgrimage sites like Kedarnath and Badrinath.
On this day, many people also pay tribute to the activists and leaders who fought for the formation of Uttarakhand as a separate state.
The day serves as a reminder of the state’s power, perseverance, culture, and the appeal of nature. When the people of Devbhumi join hands in celebration and pride, the event turns into a perpetual source of motivation for every generation to keep alive the heritage and the spirit of oneness of Uttarakhand.
