Imagine Puducherry wants to become a full state, like other places in India.
The people in charge are planning a special meeting in September to talk about this.
They want to make a strong statement about wanting to be a state.
This is because the leaders sometimes disagree with the people who run things from far away.
They hope this meeting will help them get more control and make important decisions on their own.
They also plan to celebrate how long their leader has been working to help their area.
