On which date 'Uttar Pradesh Day' is celebrated ?

Uttar Pradesh Day (also known as UP Diwas) is celebrated every year on January 24. This date was chosen because on January 24, 1950, the United Provinces was officially renamed as Uttar Pradesh.

Although the state was renamed in 1950, the initiative to celebrate this day officially was proposed by the then Governor Ram Naik in 2017. The first official celebration of 'Uttar Pradesh Day' was organized by the state government in 2018. The day is marked by various cultural events and exhibitions showcasing the state's heritage and development. Other dates mentioned are significant for other reasons: January 23 is Parakram Diwas, January 25 is National Voters' Day, and January 26 is Republic Day.
