Chhattisgarh was separated from Madhya Pradesh and officially became a state on November 1, 2000.1
The creation of the state followed the passage of the Madhya Pradesh Reorganization Bill by the Indian legislature in August 2000. Unlike the formation of other states during that period, the establishment of Chhattisgarh was notable for being a peaceful process, free from the agitation and violence that accompanied the creation of Uttarakhand and Jharkhand.1
