Indian Constitutional Amendments and State Formations
Telangana
• In 2014, the new state of Telangana came into existence as the 29th state of the
Indian Union.
• It was carved out of the territories of Andhra Pradesh
Jammu & Kashmir
and Ladakh
• In 2019, this special status was abolished by a presidential order known as "The
Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 2019".
• This order superseded the earlier order known as "The Constitution
(Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954".
Further, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, bifurcated the
erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir into two separate union territories,
namely, the union territory of Jammu & Kashmir and the union territory of
Ladakh.
• The union territory of Jammu and Kashmir comprises all the districts of the
erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir except the Kargil and Leh districts which
have gone to the union territory of Ladakh.View entire presentation
