Telangana Day is also known as Telangana Formation Day. It is observed every year on June 2 to commemorate the birth of India’s 29th state. In 2025, Telangana Day will be observed on Monday, June 2, marking the 11th anniversary of the state’s formation.

History and Formation

Telangana was officially formed on June 2, 2014, after a long and historic movement demanding separate statehood from Andhra Pradesh. The demand stemmed from socio-economic and cultural differences, as well as concerns about neglect in development and governance.

The movement gained momentum over decades, with strong public support and leadership by regional parties. Finally, the Indian Parliament passed the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act in 2014, paving the way for Telangana to emerge as an independent state with Hyderabad as its capital.
