The 61st foundation day of Maharashtra will be observed in a simple way on May 1 with only ceremonies for unfurling the national flag to be organised at various district headquarters.

A notification issued by the state government on Wednesday said the flag-hoisting functions will be held at 8 am at all the district headquarters.

In Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Nashik and Amravati, the flag-hoisting should be organised at the divisional commisionerate and district collectors should not hold separate functions, the notification said.

Only the district guardian minister, divisional commissioner, mayor, municipal council president, collector, police commissioner, district superintendent of police and Zilla Parishad CEO will be present at the event, it said, adding that there will be no invites and parades.

The notification also said there will be minimum attendance at the Vidhan Bhavan, high court and other constitutional offices.

Maharashtra was formed on May 1, 1960.

This will be the second year of low key celebrations of the state's foundation day due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Significance

The States Reorganisation Act, 1956, defined boundaries for states within India on the basis of languages. The Bombay State formed under this act had people speaking various languages like Marathi, Gujarati, Kutchi and Konkani. But having two linguistic units in one state didn't seem to work.

That is when, the Sanyukt Maharashtra Andolan began and demanded a separate state. The Sanyukt Maharashtra Andolan continued till 1960 and in the same year, the Bombay Reorganization Act was passed by India's Parliament to divide the multilingual state Bombay into Gujarat and Maharashtra. The legislation came into effect on May 1, 1960.

The Maharashtra Day, thus, is special as it established the identity of the state with its Marathi-speaking community. Every year May 1 is observed as a public holiday. On this day, educational institutes, banks, government offices and several establishments remain shut.
