States Reorganisation Act

The States Reorganisation Act of 1956 was a law in India that reorganized the country's states and territories based on linguistic and administrative considerations. Its goal was to create states where people spoke the same language, making governance easier and more effective. The act merged some smaller regions and created new states, resulting in a more unified administrative system. This reorganization aimed to promote national unity, improve development, and respect regional identities, laying the foundation for India's federal structure and balanced regional development.
