On 22nd March in 1912, Bihar was carved out of the Bengal Presidency. Its rich history is marked by the renowned Nalanda University, a beacon of ancient learning and Bodh Gaya, where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, shaping our country’s spiritual heritage. Rajasthan State was formed on 30th March 1949, when the princely realms of Jodhpur, Jaipur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer united with the United States of Rajputana, forming what was known as Greater Rajasthan. The state of Rajasthan has very distinctive traits. It has cities painted in vibrant hues like the pink of Jaipur, the white of Udaipur, the blue of Jodhpur, and the purple of Jhalawar. Once a part of Bihar, Odisha emerged as a distinct province on April 1, 1936, becoming the first state in India shaped by linguistic identity. Rooted in the ancient kingdom of Kalinga and a wealth of over 600 temples, earning it the title of India’s temple state.
The Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat programme, aims to actively enhance interaction between people of diverse cultures living in different States and UTs in India, with the objective of promoting greater mutual understanding amongst them. In the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat program, the Foundation Day celebrations of various states and union territories across India are organized at the Raj Bhavan in Mizoram, under the auspices of the Governor, starting from June 2023.
