The Telugu-speaking area of Andhra State was carved out of Madras State on October 1, 1953, with Kurnool as its capital city and Tanguturi Prakasam as the first chief minister. On the basis of the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1956, the States Reorganisation Act created Andhra Pradesh by merging the neighbouring Telugu-speaking areas of the Hyderabad State with Hyderabad as the capital on November 1, 1956. However, the state of Andhra Pradesh took its present form on June 2, 2014, when the new state of Telangana was formed through bifurcation. Since then, November 1 has been celebrated as Andhra Pradesh Formation Day, primarily in the residual state of Andhra Pradesh (after the bifurcation). Telugu, one of the classical languages of India used by the majority of people, is the first official language.
