1 नवंबर, 1966 को इन्दिरा गांधी जी ने हरियाणा का गठन किया।

श्रीमद् भगवद् गीता और वेदों की धरती हरियाणा ने सदैव ज्ञान-अध्यात्म के क्षेत्र में नई दिशा दिखाई है और भाईचारे का संदेश दिया है।

"Haryana, the land of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita and Vedas, has always shown a new direction in the field of knowledge and spirituality and has given the message of brotherhood," Surjewala said.

He also said the brave soldiers of Haryana had always protected the country's borders while its athletes brought glory. At the same time, its farmers made the country self-sufficient in foodgrains.
