States Reorganization Act

The States Reorganization Act of 1956 was a law in India that aimed to reorganize state boundaries for better governance. It merged some smaller regions to create larger, more manageable states based on linguistic and cultural identities. This helped improve administrative efficiency and regional representation. The act led to the creation of new states like Andhra Pradesh, Mysore (now Karnataka), and Kerala, among others. Overall, it aimed to promote unity, development, and better administration by aligning state boundaries more closely with the people’s languages and cultural groups.
