Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki on Tuesday said that the swarna jayanti celebrations launched today would continue up to October 31, 2017.
“After implementation of various schemes of the Central and the State Government, Haryana would truly reflect the aspirations of the people,” said the Governor while speaking at the inaugural function of state’s swarna jayanti celebrations at Gurugram.
Stressing the need to work with the spirit of ‘Sabka Sath-Sabka Vikas’, he urged the people to take a pledge and participate in the development of the state.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister Manohar lal said that Haryana had completed 50 years of its existence.
"We are celebrating the swarna jayanti of Haryana, and not of any party or government. Haryana came into existence on this day in 1966 and the state has achieved tremendous progress in many fields during this period,” he said.
He said that now, the State Government is working for the development of the state and following the mantra "Haryana Ek-Haryanavi Ek."
Referring to the Ek Bharat-Shresth Bharat programme launched on the occasion of the anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Chief Minister said the State Government would work in tandem with Telangana. Haryana would make progress in all spheres, he said.
Some Central Ministers, state ministers, officers and dignitaries were also present on this occasion.
