List of 29 States of India - Summary
India is made up of 28 states and 8 union territories, including the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Having a list of 28 States of India in PDF format is very useful for students preparing for competitive exams.
Earlier, there were 29 states in India along with 7 Union Territories. But on 5 August 2019, Jammu & Kashmir was turned into a Union Territory after the Government of India removed its special status. This change left us with 28 states, and two new Union Territories were formed: Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
Students can use this detailed information about each state, including their capitals, official languages, and the dates they were formed, to study effectively for upcoming examinations.
