Haryana Government will release its film policy to promote Haryanvi culture during the international film festival to be organised as a part of swarna jayanti (golden jubilee) celebrations starting from November 1.
To promote Haryanvi culture among the people, at least one Haryanvi film would be screened in all villages in the State, said CM Manohar lal while presiding over the first meeting of Haryana state level swarna jayanti celebrations committee at Panchkula on Tuesday. During the meeting, film producer and director, Satish Kaushik, one of the members of the committee suggested that Haryanvi films and Haryanvi script should be promoted.
Kaushik said that these days Haryanvi language is used in a big way in films and the Government should provide incentives or exemption to the films which are related to Haryana.
On this, the CM said that instructions have already been issued to the Department of Information, Public Relations and languages to prepare the film policy at the earliest possible. With a view to encourage film makers in Haryana, the State government has already given incentives to award winning Haryanvi films ‘Pagri’ and ‘Satrangi’, he said.
The CM also urged that the logo of the golden jubilee should be used by the people prominently.
Another committee member, former election commissioner, SY Qureshi suggested that the excavations at Rakhi Gari should be expedited as these would project Haryana’s heritage all over the world. He also stressed the need for generating awareness about conservation of water.
“The swarna jayanti is not confined to any political party or the government, instead it is golden jubilee of the entire state and its people”, Khattar said, urging the members present in the meeting to help the government and celebrate 50 years of Haryana with the spirit of ‘Sarv Haryana, Garv Haryana, Parv Haryana’.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister also released a Swaran Jayanti booklet both in English and Hindi languages.
