Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (November 1, 2026) greeted the people of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Keralam on their States' foundation day, and prayed for the peace, prosperity, and well-being of all residents.
Mr. Modi also hoped that the coming years would bring new opportunities, greater prosperity and continued progress to the people of the six states.
"Heartiest greetings to all my brothers and sisters of Madhya Pradesh on the State's Foundation Day. The state is a land of glorious heritage, rich culture, and extraordinary natural beauty. Its world-renowned heritage sites further enhance its grand historical identity," he said in a post on X in Hindi.
The Prime Minister said the people of Madhya Pradesh have made remarkable contributions in every field through their talent and entrepreneurial spirit.
He said from agriculture, industry, tourism, education, and infrastructure to innovation, the state is continually achieving new milestones.
"Along with its overall development, it is also playing a crucial role in the building of a self-reliant India. I pray that this special occasion brings happiness, peace, and prosperity to the lives of my family members in the State," he said.
In his message to the people of Chhattisgarh, Mr. Modi said it brings great joy to see that the state is accelerating along the path of development while uprooting Naxalism.
"Heartiest greetings to all the residents of Chhattisgarh on the state's Foundation Day!" he said.
The Prime Minister said the state is renowned for its tribal culture, natural wealth, and unique folk traditions, and its archaeological heritage has always been its distinctive identity.
He said the atmosphere, rich in local folk culture, possesses a wonderful warmth that draws everyone in.
Mr. Modi said he was confident that with the active participation of the talented and hardworking people of Chhattisgarh, the state will continue to contribute immensely to the nation's prosperity.

"While our athletes bring honour to the Tricolour, our farmers (annadatas) are strengthening the nation's food security. I pray that this special occasion brings happiness and prosperity into the lives of all the people of the State," he said.
Extending warm greetings to the people of Karnataka on 'Kannada Rajyotsava', the Prime Minister said Karnataka is a land of rich traditions, remarkable achievements and immense possibilities.
"Its glorious heritage and timeless customs have enriched our nation's cultural fabric," he said.

He said from information technology, biotechnology and aerospace to artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and start-ups, the people of Karnataka have time and again shown their dexterity.
"They are at the forefront of providing solutions to pressing global challenges. May this special occasion bring joy and prosperity in the lives of the people," he said.
In his greetings to the people of Keralam, Modi said this special day celebrates the vibrant traditions and extraordinary spirit of Keralam.
"Keralappiravi greetings to my sisters and brothers of Keralam," he said.
Blessed with abundant natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage, the prime minister said the state has always occupied a cherished place in the nation's history.
