Chandigarh, March 28 : Haryana got its own state song on the last day of the budget session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly. The proposal on the state song placed by the committee constituted for the selection of the state song in the House was passed unanimously by voice vote. Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini expressed his gratitude to all the dignitaries who gave shape to this song and described it as a song that fills the emotions of 2 crore 80 lakh people with enthusiasm.
Shri Saini suggested that just as there are rules and norms set for our national anthem, in the same way some rules and norms should be set for this state song of ours.
He told that the proposal for this state song was first brought by the then Chief Minister Manohar Lal. He placed the proposal of it being the state song of the state in the House, which was happily accepted by all the members of the House. He told that this song was played by the committee in this great house earlier also, on which the members gave their suggestions and today after incorporating those suggestions, it has been presented again in the house by the committee.
The Chief Minister said that Hari ki Bhoomi Haryana became a separate state in the year 1966. But even after almost 6 decades, we do not have a state song. State song reveals the pride of any state. Therefore, we took the initiative to make a state song for Haryana state also. He said that we express special gratitude to those great people who have contributed in making this song, singing it, composing music for it and other works.
He said that this state song represents our history and culture. It has the fragrance of the great culture of Haryana. It also has a glimpse of the various contributions made by the people of Haryana. The holy land of Haryana has been the center of a glorious history, rich traditions and culture since the pre-Vedic period. Even today Haryana is considered one of the leading states of India. Our hardworking farmers have produced food grains for the huge population of the country.
At the same time, our brave and patriotic soldiers have made many sacrifices to protect the borders of the country. When Haryana was formed on November 1, 1966, our vast area was a desert. But the hardworking people of Haryana turned that desert into a gold-producing land and established its identity as a prosperous state. Many of our folk singers have sung songs about such a sacred and fertile land.
He said that this state song will inculcate sensitivity, hard work and loyalty towards their soil in the people of Haryana. This song will describe the progress of our state, its development and its standards very well.
