New Delhi, June 2, 2026 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah extended warm greetings to the people of Telangana on the occasion of its Statehood Day. The day, celebrated annually on June 2, marks the official formation of Telangana as India’s 29th state in 2014 after a prolonged democratic movement.
Prime Minister Modi took to social media platform X to convey his wishes, highlighting the state’s spirit of innovation, enterprise, and rich cultural heritage. “Greetings to the people of Telangana on the special occasion of Telangana Statehood Day. The people of Telangana are known for their spirit of innovation and enterprise. The state is known for its glorious culture and history...one of courage and determination,” he wrote. The Prime Minister also reaffirmed the central government’s commitment to supporting Telangana’s growth in line with the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India). “The Central Government is committed to supporting Telangana’s growth trajectory in realising our dream of a Viksit Bharat. Praying for the good health and success of the people of the state,” he added.
President Droupadi Murmu also shared her greetings on the platform, acknowledging Telangana’s progress in innovation and development. “Warm greetings to the people of Telangana on Statehood Day! Telangana is blessed with a rich cultural heritage and hardworking people. The State has made significant strides in innovation and development over the years. I wish the people of Telangana continued progress and well-being,” she posted.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah extended his wishes, emphasizing the state’s vibrant culture and entrepreneurial spirit. “May the state, distinguished with the vibrant culture and entrepreneurial spirit of its people, achieve heights of progress and prosperity, enhancing India’s pride,” he wrote on X.
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy also marked the occasion with a reflective message. “Every year… Remembering yesterday’s sacrifices… Reviewing tomorrow’s goals… An emotional context… June 2. Heartfelt wishes to all people on the Telangana State Formation Day celebrations,” he posted.
Telangana Statehood Day is observed as a public holiday across all 33 districts of the state. The main official celebrations typically feature the Chief Minister hoisting the national flag at the Secunderabad Parade Ground, symbolizing the state’s unity and pride.
The formation of Telangana on June 2, 2014, followed decades of a democratic movement aimed at preserving the region’s cultural identity, fostering economic development, and ensuring self-governance. Carved out of the northwestern region of Andhra Pradesh, the state has since emerged as a hub of innovation, entrepreneurship, and cultural heritage.
