The Haryana Legislative Assembly held a special conference today to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the state's formation, highlighting its developmental milestones.
New Delhi — The Haryana Legislative Assembly gathered its members and senior officials for a one‑day conference commemorating six decades since the state was carved out of Punjab in 1966. The event, held at the assembly complex, featured speeches that traced Haryana's progress in agriculture, industry and infrastructure, and underscored the government's vision for the next decade.
Key speakers, including the Chief Minister and the Speaker, highlighted the state's contribution to India's Green Revolution and its growing role as a manufacturing hub. They also announced a series of cultural programs and exhibitions slated for the remainder of the anniversary year.
The conference concluded with a vote of thanks and a call for continued cooperation among political parties, civil society and the private sector to sustain the momentum of growth and address emerging challenges such as water scarcity and unemployment.
Organisers said the anniversary will be marked with additional events across major cities, aiming to foster a sense of pride among citizens and attract investment.
The assembly will reconvene later this week to discuss pending legislative business, while the anniversary celebrations continue throughout the year.
