Arunachal Pradesh
Arunachal Pradesh which lies in the far north of the nation was once known as the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) and was governed by Assam after independence. In contrast, NEFA became a union territory in 1972, with a sizable portion being renamed Arunachal Pradesh. Arunachal Pradesh was constituted as a full-fledged state on February 20, 1987, becoming the 25th state in the Indian Union.

Mizoram
Violence and insurrection were prevalent during the period of Mizoram's ascent to statehood. In order to fulfil separatist movements' demands for independence from India in the 1960s, the Mizo National Front (MNF) engaged in armed revolt. The Mizoram Peace Agreement was finally signed between India and MNF in 1986. On February 20, 1987, as a result of the agreement, Mizoram was given statehood under the Statehood Act of 1986, becoming the 23rd state in the Indian Union.
