- Tripura, Manipur and Meghalaya are observing their Foundation Day on 21 January 2026, completing 54 years of statehood.

- Before statehood, Tripura and Manipur were Union Territories, and Meghalaya was part of Assam.
- The Act reorganised the North-Eastern region to provide administrative autonomy and legislative powers.
- The Foundation Day marks the states’ journey in self-governance, cultural identity and regional development.
