50 Years of Himachal Pradesh
After being a Union Territory for over 15 years, Himachal Pradesh received the full statehood tag on January 25, 1971. It is interesting to note that the Legislative Assembly of Himachal Pradesh has no history prior to the formation of the Constitution. The State came into existence after India received independence from the British rule. Himachal Pradesh became a centrally administered territory on 15 April 1948. It was formed as an integration of thirty erstwhile princely states.
