India got its independence from British in the year of 1947 after a long struggle. Consequently, the constitution was formed so as to establish a proper government in our country. After becoming a Republic nation in the year 1950 linguistic provinces were formed in our country. Mysore is one such province formed by taking in various regions ruled by different kings. Various kingdoms were resolved into states and were named by the government of India. So every state has a formation day which is nothing but the day on which few regions joined together to form a province. After their formation, separate governments were established in each state headed by a chief minister and a number of ministries to work under him/her.

A central government was also established and the state governments were answerable to the central government. The central government was headed by a prime minister. The president of India is considered the first citizen of our country. Formation day is different for different states. For Andhra Pradesh it is on 1 Oct. 1953, for Bihar, it is on 15 Aug 1947, for Goa it is on 30 Mat, 1987 and for Tamil Nadu, it is on 15th of Aug, 1947.
