Gujarat Statehood Day:
Gujarat Formation Day, also known as Gujarat Sthapana Divas, is celebrated annually on May 1st to commemorate the establishment of the state of Gujarat in 1960, following the bifurcation of the Bombay State on linguistic lines. The creation of Gujarat, fueled by the Mahagujarat Movement, marked the recognition of the Gujarati-speaking population’s cultural and administrative identity. The day is observed with parades, flag hoisting, cultural programs, and developmental project inaugurations across the state.
