Write a short note on State Reorganization Commission.

Answer»

After Independence, the demand of re-organization of state on the basis of language arose. It became strong as it was assured by the Congress before independence in 1937. The first state formed was Andhra Pradesh. After this, demand of the formation of states became strong. Hence, Indian Government formed a State Reorganization Commission in 1953. Justice Fazal Ali was made president of this Commission.

K.M. Pannikar and Kunjaru were made members of it. In 1955, the organization presented its report. On the basis of this report, the Indian Parliament passed State Reorganization Act in 1956. Fourteen states and six union territories were formed, but demand for the formation of more states was continued in different parts of the nation in form of movements.
