Haryana officially adopted its state song on the concluding day of the budget session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha. The proposal, presented by the committee formed for the selection of the state song, was passed unanimously through a voice vote in the House.
Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini expressed his gratitude to all the dignitaries who contributed to the creation of the song, describing it as one that inspires the spirit of the 2.80 crore people of Haryana.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini suggested that, just as there are established rules and norms for the national anthem, similar guidelines should be set for the state song as well.
He said that the proposal for the state song was first introduced by former Chief Minister Sh. Manohar Lal, who presented it in the House, which was accepted by all members in the House. The Chief Minister said that the song had previously been played in the Assembly during which members offered their suggestions. These suggestions were incorporated, and the revised version of state song was presented again today.
The Chief Minister highlighted that although Haryana became a separate state in 1966, it did not have an official state song until now. He said that a state song reflects the pride of a state, and this initiative was undertaken to create one for Haryana. He expressed special gratitude to those who contributed to the making of the song, including its composers, singers, and other contributors.
The Chief Minister further said that the state song symbolizes Haryana’s rich history, culture, and contributions. He praised Haryana as a land of great cultural heritage, which has been central to India’s glorious history since the pre-Vedic era. Haryana, he said, is still one of the leading states in India, with its hardworking farmers feeding the nation and its brave soldiers protecting the borders. He recalled how, upon Haryana’s formation in 1966, much of its land was a desert, but the determination of its people transformed it into a prosperous state.
He said that the state song will instill sensitivity, hard work, and loyalty to the land among the people of Haryana, beautifully capturing the state’s progress, development, and values.
State Government maintains Zero Tolerance Policy against corruption – Chief Minister
Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the state government has been consistently working for the past 11 years with a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, ensuring that officers, employees, or any individuals found guilty are not spared under any circumstances.
The Chief Minister was responding to a concern raised by MLA Dr. Raghubir Kadian regarding MNREGA during the budget session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly here today.
He said that the current state government has taken serious note of the MNREGA scam and has taken strict action against the officers and others involved in the case.
He further assured that the government will continue to adhere to its zero-tolerance policy and corruption will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Bill on Aparna Sansthan aims to promote Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari’s ideology for public welfare – Chief Minister
Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the objective of the bill introduced in the House by the state government regarding Aparna Sansthan is to further the ideology of Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari for public welfare. He said that a yoga ashram has already been established on the land, and Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari had envisioned that health facilities should also be made available to the public there. Thus, the government aims to ensure the realization of the spirit of public welfare by taking control of this ashram.
The Chief Minister made these remarks during the discussion on the bill related to Aparna Sansthan, introduced in the budget session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly here today.
He clarified that the introduction of this bill does not bypass any central government laws; instead, all necessary processes are being followed in compliance with them.
He further said that following the death of Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari, the institution was divided into two factions. For the past three decades, litigation has been ongoing between them, rendering the institution inactive. Therefore, the primary purpose of bringing this bill is to ensure that the land of the institution does not fall into the wrong hands and that its benefits continue to reach the people.
