Nagaland

Nagaland became a constituent state of the Indian union following an accord reached at the Naga Peopleā€™s Convention meeting held in July 1960.1

Prior to this, in 1957, an earlier agreement between Naga leaders and the Indian government had combined the Naga Hills region of Assam and the Tuensang frontier division into a single unit under direct administration by the Indian government. Following the 1960 accord, Nagaland officially achieved statehood in 1963, becoming the 16th state of India.12
