A democratically elected government took office the following year, in 1964. Prior to attaining statehood, the region had been a part of Assam and was later administered as a union territory comprising the Naga Hills and Tuensang Frontier Division.
Statehood Day holds special significance for the people of Nagaland, symbolising their cultural identity, autonomy, and heritage. The day also marks the beginning of the world-famous Hornbill Festival, a major cultural celebration that showcases the traditions and artistic diversity of the Naga tribes.
