On the foundation day of Uttarakhand, my warmest greetings to all my Devbhoomi brothers and sisters. "With the progress made by the state in the last five years, I am confident that Uttarakhand will own this decade," PM Modi said in a tweet that was roughly translated from Hindi.

In another tweet, the Prime Minister expressed his desire for the state, which is located in the midst of nature, to continue on its development path.

Uttarakhand was formed as India's 27th state on November 9, 2000, after being carved out of Northern Uttar Pradesh. It has international borders with China (Tibet) in the north and Nepal in the east, and is primarily a hilly state. The state is also known as the "Land of Gods" because of its abundant natural resources, which include glaciers, rivers, dense forests, and snow-capped mountain peaks. Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamnotri are the four most sacred and revered Hindu temples in Uttarakhand, collectively known as the Char Dham. Dehradun is the state's capital. Here's everything you need to know about the state and the date it was founded.
