It is worth mentioning here that on January 20th, 1972, Arunachal Pradesh was formed from the erstwhile North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) region and on February 20th, 1987, Arunachal Pradesh was officially declared as a state.

The inaugural event is being held at zero because the then Prime Minister, Rajib Gandhi, announced the birth of Arunachal Pradesh at Ziro.

The main Statehood Day celebration will take place on February 20th at the Itanagar capital complex.
