Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday said that the cultural heritage of State, along with a glimpse of modern Haryana, will be showcased this Republic Day at Kartavya Path in Delhi.
Talking to Reporters, Saini said that this year, on the occasion of Republic Day on January 26, Haryana’s tableau will depict the divine message of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita given by Lord Krishna on the land of Haryana, alongside a portrayal of the prosperous and developing Haryana. The tableau, based on the theme ‘Prosperous Haryana: Heritage and Development’, will showcase, on the one hand, our rich cultural heritage in the form of the knowledge of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, while on the other hand, it will highlight a farmer using IT to fill details of his crops sown and check prices, as well as Haryana’s emergence as a sports powerhouse.
“Our Paralympic medalists, namely Nitesh Kumar (Badminton), Harvinder Singh (Shooting), Yogesh Kathuniya (Discus Throw), Aruna Tanwar (Taekwondo), and Tarun Dillo (Badminton), will be the focal point of attraction on the tableau, serving as a source of inspiration for millions of youth across the country. Additionally, the last portion of the tableau depicts the cluster of the highrise buildings of Gurugram, which is a unique model of public-private partnership (PPP) urbanisation. Gurugram is one of the leading IT software exporters in the country. This tableau has been prepared by the Department of Information, Public Relations & Languages Haryana,” Saini added.
He said that it is also a matter of pride for the residents of the state that Haryana’s tableau is being showcased at Kartavya Path for the fourth consecutive time this year and for the sixth time during the current government’s tenure. Acknowledging the hardworking people of Haryana for this achievement, he emphasized that today, due to their efforts, Haryana has become a leading state in various sectors like agriculture, sports, IT, and industrialization.
On Thursday, a full dress rehearsal of the Republic Day parade was conducted at Kartavya Path in Delhi, where Haryana’s tableau was displayed. This tableau will be displayed again in front of the nation on ensuing Republic Day, Sunday.
