Haryana Day Celebrated in Karnal and Kaithal with Cultural Programmes and Welfare Message

Haryana Day was celebrated with district-level Diamond Jubilee programmes at the district headquarters of Karnal and Kaithal, where cultural programmes added to the festive spirit of the occasion. A painting competition was also organised in Karnal as part of the celebrations marking the state’s formation on 1 November 1966.

In Karnal, Indri MLA and Haryana Legislative Assembly chief whip Ram Kumar Kashyap was the chief guest, while Karnal MLA Jagmohan Anand, Assandh MLA Yogendra Rana, Mayor Renu Bala Gupta and Kavinder Rana, representative of Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, were the distinguished guests. In Kaithal, Pundri MLA Satpal Jamba presided over the function.

At both programmes, the achievements of Haryana were highlighted. Addressing the gathering in Karnal, Kashyap said the government’s priority was to ensure that welfare schemes reached every person in society. Initiatives such as the Parivar Pehchan Patra were helping identify eligible families and deliver benefits transparently, he added.

Highlighting healthcare and social security, he referred to schemes such as Ayushman Bharat and said eligible families were being provided access to medical treatment. He also described pensions for senior citizens as a symbol of dignity, stating that Haryana provides a monthly allowance of Rs 3,250.

Kashyap credited former Chief Minister and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar with introducing administrative reforms and said Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was continuing efforts to ensure the transparent delivery of government benefits.

On women empowerment, he highlighted the importance of girls’ education and equal opportunities, and said the 50 per cent reservation for women in Panchayati Raj institutions and local bodies had strengthened their participation in democratic governance.

In Kaithal, Pundri MLA Satpal Jamba said Haryana had established itself among the country’s leading states through hard work, dedication and determination. Congratulating residents on Haryana Day, he recalled the state’s formation on 1 November 1966 and highlighted its achievements in agriculture, sports, education, industry and infrastructure. He highlighted various welfare initiatives for farmers, women, youth and economically weaker sections under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.
