Uttarakhand, whose Foundation Day was celebrated in Dehradun in November 2026, was formed on which date?
- A.1 November 2000
- B.9 November 2000
- C.15 November 2000
- D.9 November 2001
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 9 November 2000. Addressing the Uttarakhand State Foundation Day celebrations in Dehradun on 6 November 2026, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the long-standing demand for a separate state was fulfilled when Atal Bihari Vajpayee, then Prime Minister, created Uttarakhand on 9 November 2000. At the same event, foundation stones were laid and inaugurations held for 63 development projects worth ₹1,508 crore, and 15 people were to receive the Uttarakhand Gaurav Samman. Option A, 1 November 2000, is a different date and is not when Uttarakhand was formed. Option C, 15 November 2000, is also not the formation date of Uttarakhand. Option D keeps the right day and month but the wrong year, 2001, which is a typical distractor. Only 9 November 2000 matches the date Shah gave for the creation of the state, which is why its Foundation Day falls in November.
