Rajasthan was formed on 30th March, 1949. This day is celebrated across Rajasthan every year as Rajasthan Divas. 30th March holds relevance because on this day erstwhile nineteen princely states, two chief ships, and the British district of Ajmer-Merwara merged to form the state of Rajasthan. From the time of its inception Rajasthan has now reached this stage where it is regarded as an epitome of success from being a former BIMARU state.
