Sign in to search40th Foundation Day of Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram
On 20 February 2026, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram celebrated their 40th Foundation Day, marking their transition to full statehood in 1987 as the 24th and 23rd states of India respectively. This milestone reflects India’s long-standing policy of integrating diverse frontier regions through constitutional, political, and developmental measures.
Historically, Arunachal Pradesh evolved from the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA), administered directly by the Centre due to its sensitive international borders with China, Bhutan, and Myanmar. It became a Union Territory in 1972 and attained statehood under the 55th Constitutional Amendment Act. Special provisions under Article 371-H grant the Governor discretionary powers over law and order, reflecting its strategic importance, particularly along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
