Why?
The correct answer is Meghalaya . Key Points Statehood Days of Tripura, Manipur, and Meghalaya Every year on January 21, India celebrates the Statehood Days of Tripura, Manipur, and Meghalaya to honour the country's unique cultural diversity. On January 21, 2022, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Manipur commemorated their 50th anniversaries of statehood . The North East Reorganisation Act of 1971 , also known as the foundation day of Tripura, Meghalaya, and Manipur, was p ut into effect on January 21 . This date is significant in history since it represents the beginning of these three states . On the occasion of the statehood days for Manipur, Meghalaya, and Tripura, Prime Minister Modi greeted the crowd and commended them for their dynamic contributions to the nation's growth . Additional Information As part of the North Eastern Region (Re-Organisation) Act, 1971, Tripura and Manipur, which had previously been princely states , were united into the Indian Union in October 1949 and were made complete states on January 21, 1972. The same act also led to Meghalaya's statehood, which was once a part of Assam . The princely states that had merged into the Indian Union had begun acquiring statehood soon after the nation had earned independence from British Rule . On the other hand, Meghalaya was still a part of Assam in 1949 , although Tripura and Manipur had been given the status of Union Territories. Later, in 1969, Meghalaya was recognised as an autonomous state due to the Assam Reorganisation (Meghalaya) Act .
