United Province

 UNITED  PROVINCE (Later on became Uttar Pradesh)

The United Provinces of Agra and Oudh was a province of India under the British Raj, which existed from 1902 to 1947; the official name was shortened by the Government of India Act 1935 to United Provinces (UP), by which the province had been commonly known, and by which name it was also a province of independent India until 1950.

It corresponded approximately to the present-day Indian states of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Uttarakhand. Allahabad served as the administrative headquarters and the capital of the province. From 1856 to 1902, the region had existed as two separate provinces, North-Western Provinces and Oudh State.

The United Provinces became a province of the newly independent India in 1947; upon the coming into force of the new Constitution of India on 26 January 1950, it became a state by the name of Uttar Pradesh. In 2000 part of the state was detached to form the new state of Uttaranchal, since renamed as Uttarakhand.

Note :- From 1 Apr 1957 a new act was inacted by adopting Decimal/Metric System of coinage and introduced a new coinage i.e. 1 Rupee = 100 Naya Paisa . Later on the word Naya was also dropped when the people got familiarized with this new change from British to Metric and so 1 Rupee = 100 Paisa after 1 June 1964.
