Answer:

1st May is celebrated as Maharashtra Day every year in India. This is the date on which the formation of the state Maharashtra was done from the Bombay State in the year of 1960. On this day, the government announces public holiday to all sectors such as school/colleges, offices, and companies under the jurisdiction of the state. The Central government of the country organizes many programs and events for celebrating this day.

Talking about the history of Maharashtra day, this day is celebrated for commemorating the formation of state from Bombay State. In India, the states were defined by the boundaries based on languages. The Bombay State was formed as a consequence of The States Reorganization Act. The Bombay State was composed of different areas where Marathi, Konkani, Gujarati, and Kutchi languages were spoken.

Later, the Bombay State was divided into two states for which The Sanyukta Maharashtra Samiti was leading the movement. These two states were Maharashtra and Gujarat. This act came into action on 1st May 1960 and from then this day is celebrated as Maharashtra Day or Maharashtra Din in the whole country.

In Maharashtra, people celebrate this day with joy and pride. Many political, traditional and entertainment events and activities are organized on this day. People give homage to the legend freedom fighters of India who were from Maharashtra on this day such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Lokamanya Tilak, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, etc. The school and colleges have a holiday on this day but they celebrate Maharashtra Day by organizing events such as essay writing, speech, elocution, quiz, debate, and drawing competitions.

Nowadays, many youngsters feel proud to go on rallies on bikes with the flag of the state. They celebrate this day with those bike rallies but they do not think that it is not the way to celebrate this day. They do not care about the speed of their vehicle, signals on the road and keep moving here and there but it creates many problems like traffic jam issues, accidents and much more. People should first understand the meaning of this day and celebrate it in that way.
