Chandigarh, December 15

Haryana will soon get its own state song reflecting the rich history, heritage and vibrant culture of the state. Chief Minister Manohar Lal introduced a proposal in this regard during the first day of the winter session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha here today.

Three songs chosen by the government were played in the House. The House will decide on one song to be officially declared as the state song for the upcoming year.

The song encapsulates Haryana’s rich history, heritage and culture, symbolizing a significant cultural milestone for the state.

While presenting the proposal, the Chief Minister said that though Haryana came into existence on 1st November, 1966, the sacred land of Haryana has been the centre of our history, tradition and culture since the pre-Vedic period.

Haryana today is recognised as one of the foremost States in Bharat. The people of Haryana have always made several sacrifices in defending the nation and significantly contributed in nation building.

“Haryana has its own emblem, it does not have a State Song that represents its history and culture and embodies the virtues and contributions of its people. The State Song once adopted will provide a new proud identity to all Haryanvis irrespective of their caste, gender religion or economic status” said Manohar Lal.

He further said that the song options have been chosen through an elaborate process from amongst 204 entries submitted by the people of the State in response to public invitation through newspapers advertisements.

“The song is adopted initially for a period of one year from today as the State Song of Haryana. I hope the State song will represent the collective will people of Haryana whom we all represent” said the Chief Minister.

The Chief Minister said that members should share their opinions after reviewing these songs on November 19, 2023. In addition, if they wish to propose a new draft of the song, they are encouraged to do so.
