Gujarat day:
Gujarat was formed in the year 1960, however, the idea for the state first appeared in a magazine called Kumar in the year 1928. KM Munshi, a writer and freedom fighter, was the one who first proposed the Mahagujarat idea. The suggestion was given in a conference held during the 1937 Gujarat Sahitya Sabha in Karachi. The map of Gujarat was first seen in a magazine ahead of a poem by Devshavji Parmar titled ‘Uthtrishta Jagrat’.
Around 18,000 villages in the state have been connected to the electrical grid for 24 hours. With Jyotigra, Yojana farms are also electrified in the state.
Maharashtra day:
However, As early as 1940, there was a demand for a separate state for Marathi-speaking people. For the statehood movement, the Samyukta Mahasabha Organisation was established in modern-day Mumbai. It took more than 20 years and the support of numerous commissions for a distinct state. Former Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru declared Bombay a Union territory for five years in 1956. Later, a resolution supporting Bombay's bilingual state was approved by the Lok Sabha. The Lok Sabha suggests a state resolution in March 1960. A month later the resolution on the state of Bombay is approved by the Lower House. On May 1st, 1960, the state of Maharashtra came into existence with Bombay as its capital.
