Uttarakhand became a state on November 9, 2000. The establishment of Uttarakhand was achieved after a lot of hard work and sacrifice. The voice for Uttarakhand to become a state was first raised in a special session of the Indian National Congress in Srinagar, May 5-6, 1938. In 1994, after a series of events, demand gradually increased for another state eventually which took the form of a mass movement, leading to the formation of India’s 27th state by 2000.

In March 1994, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav recommended the Mandal Commission to secure 27% of government positions and places in schools and universities for socially and economically weaker classes,which was later on carried on. The Hill region OBC population was very small at 2.5% and reserving OBC seats meant that all government seats would go to the plains of Uttar Pradesh. This led to intensified protests against the nation.

In 1994, the students throughout the region participated in separate state and group movements for reservations. The Uttarakhand movement was further intensified locally by the anti-Uttarakhand statement by then-Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mulayam Singh Yadav. Uttarakhand leaders continued to support their call for another state until their death. State officials went on strike for three months, and the Uttarakhand movement was exacerbated by the blockade and confrontation with police. Uttarakhand activists in Mussoorie and Khatima were shot dead by police. On October 2, 1994, in Delhi, the capital of the country, a large-scale demonstration and protest was held in support of the state under the support of Samyukta Morcha. Uttarakhand activists marched to Delhi to participate in the struggle. Activists who participated in peaceful demonstrations near Ranpur Tiraha Junction in Muzaffarnagar were tortured and shot dead openly without warning. Police officers were also charged with obscene behavior and rape with female activists. Satya Pokhriyal was a leader who led all people out of misery and other Andolankari helped others and showed courage. Several people were killed and many were injured. These incidents has fueled the Uttarakhand movement. The next day, October 3, the destruction of gunfights across the region and protests over multiple deaths broke up.

On October 7, 1994, a female activists died after police brutally attacked her in Dehradun while she protested against the shooting at Rampur Tiraha and many activists attacked the police station in return. A curfew was imposed in Dehradun on October 15, and one activists was also killed on the same day. On October 27, 1994, then Indian Minister of Home Affairs Rajesh Pilot met with state activists. Meanwhile, a brutal police attack in Srinagar’s Sriyantra Tapu killed several activists while they were protesting.


On August 15, 1996, then Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda announced at the Red Fort of Delhi the forming of a new state Uttarakhand.

In 1998, the BJP-led coalition government at the centre sent the “Uttarakhand Bill” through the President of India to the Uttar Pradesh state government . The Uttar Pradesh State Assembly passed , the Uttarakhand bill with 26 amendments and sent back to the central government. On July 27, 2000, the central government submitted the 2000 Uttar Pradesh Reorganization Bill to the Parliament of India. Lok Sabha passed the bill on August 1, 2000, and Rajya Sabha passed the bill on August 10, 2000. The Uttar Pradesh Reorganization Act was approved by then President of India, K.R. Narayana on August 28, 2000 and on November 9, 2000, the new state of Uttaranchal was established as the 27th state of India, now known as Uttarakhand.

“Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle” —Napoleon Hill

We all have been in a situation where we feel disappointed, whether by job rejection, loss in business, fail in exams or might have been facing a lot of problems in the relationship. All have experience downfalls at least once in their life. We feel devastated and stop putting our effort due to fear of failure. It happens with all of us might be at a different stage of life. I know it’s not easy to say it’s okay, everything will be alright to yourself. No one knows the effort you have put it in your work, rather than you yourself. Always remember, there is no point crying over the failure rather than always embrace the mistakes and learn from them. You can’t change your past just focus on the present and glorify it. Maybe according to you, you have put your hundred percent but that particular thing I.e. Business, relation or might be anything else may require your more effort. It’s not that businessman become a millionaire overnight or the perfect couple doesn’ t have any sort of arguments ever in their life they all have gone through downfalls but what they never lose is faith in themselves, they don’t stop putting their effort. They never give up. So what really never give up means for everyone? It’s a continuous struggle and acceptance to failures embracing the mistake and learning from them and making yourself better day by day. Always be determined to your goal. It’s hard to reach you will find numerous obstacle but don’t stop your struggle. Every successful person has tackled numerous obstacles and continued their struggle. One of the instance is Colonel Sanders. You all might have known the story of KFC’s Colonel Sanders. The person faced rejection several times but never lose hopes. His father died when he was just six years old, and leaving him to take care of his siblings. At seventh he dropped out of school work as a farmhand. At the age of 16, he faked his age to get selected in the united state army and later on hired by the railway as a labourer and got fired. It’s not all he was fired many times. At the age of 40, he starts selling chicken dish in the service station, later he decided to franchise his restaurant. His dish was rejected not one not two but 1009 times but he never give up and continued his struggle and finally, his secret recipe names as “Kentucky Fried Chicken”, got super hit. After so many fail but he doesn’t stop putting continuous efforts and he finally made it. His KFC broadened internationally, was sold at 2 million dollars whose net worth is around $15.3 today. The never give up attitude made him achieve that even today he remains eternal on the centre of KFC branding. That’s the power of never give up attitude. He’s not the only one many businessmen have work overnight to fulfil their ambition whether Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many more. Whenever you feel low just let the title reach out to you and trust yourself and your preparation one day you will be at the height of success with a strengthen soul.
