Madhya Pradesh was formed by combining several parts of Central India.
The foundation day of Madhya Pradesh celebrated on November 1. Madhya Pradesh became a new state during the reorganization of states in the country in 1956. If we look at history, the Constitution was implemented in India for the first time on 26 January 1950. After this, elections were held in the country for the first time in 1952. After the elections, the Legislative Assembly also started along with the Parliament. Madhya Pradesh was formed by combining different areas of the region coming in Central India.
Madhya Pradesh is situated in the middle of the country, so it is also called the heart of India. When the country got independence in 1947, it was divided into many parts. Vindhya Pradesh and Central India were also separated from the Central Agency first. Three years after independence, in 1950, Berar and Central Province were renamed and it was renamed Madhya Pradesh.
During this period, all the states were formed on the basis of language. In 1950, Bhopal, Vindhya Pradesh, Madhya Bharat and Madhya Pradesh had their own assemblies. In 1956, Madhya Pradesh was formed by combining Bhopal, Vindhya Pradesh, Madhya Bharat, Central Province (CP) and Berar. Along with Madhya Pradesh, it was also called Madhya Bharat.
Bhopal was made the capital of Madhya Pradesh in 1956. There was a tussle between the big cities Indore, Gwalior and Jabalpur and Bhopal for making it the capital. First of all, there was a demand to make Indore and Gwalior the capital. After this, the name of the big city Jabalpur was also included in it.
When the State Reorganization Commission took information about all the big cities, it found that Bhopal had the maximum number of buildings. This was the most suitable place to build such government offices.
After this, the decision to make Bhopal the capital was approved.
There were more buildings in Bhopal city, hence it was made the capital.
This decision was also taken to suppress the anti-India sentiments of Bhopal Nawab.
After the country got independence, the Nawab of Bhopal was continuously opposing it. He did not want to join India. During this time, he had also started opposing India along with the Nizam of Hyderabad. To stop this activity of his, it was decided to make Bhopal the capital. So that the government in the state could run from here.
some time after the independence of the country and before that Madhya Pradesh was known as Central Province i.e. Madhya Pradesh and Berar i.e. CP and Berar. In independent India, the princely states were unified. After this, from 1st November 1956, our state started being called Madhya Pradesh.
Madhya Pradesh was formed by combining CP & Berar, Madhya Bharat (Gwalior-Chambal), Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal. For this, a State Reorganization Commission was formed in independent India. The commission had the responsibility of forming a state as big as Uttar Pradesh, because it had to be formed by combining Mahakoshal, Gwalior-Chambal, Vindhya Pradesh and the areas around Bhopal.
The Reorganization Commission had to create a state as big as Uttar Pradesh. The biggest challenge in this was to merge 4 states. The challenge became even bigger because the existing states had their own identity and they also had their own separate assembly. When these states were being brought together, the princely states started opposing it. In such a situation, the commission took about 34 months to complete all the agreements.
These areas were included in the reorganization
took about 34 months for the commission to deliberate on all the recommendations. Finally, after all the recommendations, the commission presented its report to Jawaharlal Nehru, then he named it Madhya Pradesh and on 1 November 1956, Madhya Bharat came to be known as Madhya Pradesh.
