He said the song reflects Haryana’s progress, development, and values while instilling sensitivity, hard work, and loyalty to the land.
Saini suggested that guidelines be established for the state song, similar to those for the national anthem.
The proposal was first introduced by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in the Assembly last year. The song was played in the House, and members’ suggestions were incorporated into the final version, which has now been officially adopted, Saini said.
He noted that while Haryana became a separate state in 1966, it had no official state song until now.
He said the song symbolizes Haryana’s rich history, culture, and contributions, and extended special thanks to its composers, singers, and other contributors. Haryana, he said, has been central to India’s history since the pre-Vedic era and remains a leading state, with its farmers feeding the nation and its soldiers protecting the borders.
