History: At the time of India’s independence, the southern part of the country was broadly administered by the Nizam of Hyderabad, the state of Mysuru and the Madras and Bombay Presidencies. After independence, the region was reorganised to facilitate administration. In 1956, under the State Reorganisation Act, the Kannada-speaking regions were grouped into a separate state- Mysuru. Andhra Pradesh also came into existence on this day. Karnataka Rajyotsava Day has been celebrated every year since then to celebrate the state’s formation. Later, in 1973, the name of the state was changed from Mysuru to Karnataka. Celebrations: This year marks the 67th Karnataka Rajyotsava Day.
