It also has the fourth highest per capita income for Indian States and is the third fastest growing economy in India.
Following independence from Britain in 1947, Himachal Pradesh was created as a province on April 15th 1948. This event is celebrated with a public holiday of its own - Himachal Day.
In 1950 it became a sub-state under the Indian constitution then becoming a union territory in 1956.
On December 18th 1970 the State of Himachal Pradesh Act was passed by Parliament and the new state came into being on January 25th 1971 making it the 18th state of India. Y.S. Parmar became the state’s first chief minister.
