Telangana Formation Day 2025: On June 2, the people of Telangana celebrate their formation day, a decade since India’s youngest state was established.

Telangana was created as a separate state in response to a longstanding demand for a separate Telangana state that had been raised for decades, a resolution led by the Congress Working Committee.

On June 2, 2014, Telangana was formed out of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, following the approval of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill in the Parliament in 2014.

The Telangana Formation Day is an occasion to pay tribute to the hardships faced by the people of Telangana while celebrating their victory in carving a separate identity apart from Andhra Pradesh.

It also serves as a reminder of the resilience of its people in their pursuit to have a separate state for over half a century of struggle and sacrifice. In 2025, the state will celebrate its 11th anniversary on Monday, June 2.
