Mizoram joyously observed its 37th State Day with widespread festivities throughout the state, culminating in a grand celebration.
Aizawl's Vanapa Hall hosted the focal point of the celebrations, where citizens gathered in large numbers to commemorate the occasion.
Governor Dr. Hari Babu Kambhampati honored the event as the Chief Guest, while Chief Minister Lalduhoma extended his presence as the Guest of Honour, adding to the significance of the day's celebrations.
Mizoram's journey from being a part of Assam to becoming a separate entity is marked by significant historical milestones, including its establishment as a Union Territory in 1972 after being carved out from Assam.
The formal recognition of Mizoram as a full-fledged state of India came with the adoption of the 53rd Amendment Act by the Indian Parliament in 1986. Consequently, on February 20, 1987, Mizoram officially became the 23rd state of India, marking a significant milestone in its political evolution.
Mizoram, with Aizawl as its capital, comprises 11 districts. Governor Kaiwalya Trivikram Parnaik serves as the ceremonial head of the state, while Pema Khandu holds the position of Chief Minister, responsible for the executive administration of the state.
