Emphasising that writers must play a proactive role in overall development of the State and the country, Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki on Tuesday said their role in taking the nation forward is all the more important in today’s world.
Releasing the book ‘The Haryana Story’ written by Rajeev Ranjan Roy, Senior Assistant Editor, Daily Post, Chandigarh, Solanki said the book had been written at a time when the State was celebrating its golden jubilee year. “It is a year of not only celebrating successes as a State, but also work out the future roadmap to take Haryana to the next level of development. The Haryana Story gives an insight into different aspects of the State and also suggests way and means to take the state forward on the path of progress,” he said.
lauding the efforts of Roy, Solanki said more and more such interventions are required so that Haryana maintained the pace of inclusive development. The Governor also highlighted the need for all round development of the State, which had achieved remarkable successes in the past 50 years.
Roy, who has written two books earlier, said his third book was an attempt to peep into diverse aspects of the State’s socio-political and economic set-up. Though small, Haryana is an important State of India and is significantly contributing to the country’s economic growth.
