Amit Shah, India’s Home Minister, recently expressed admiration and appreciation for the state of Haryana, acknowledging its crucial role in elevating India’s pride. His words emphasized Haryana’s contribution not only as a cradle of remarkable talents in sports but also as a zone of remarkable progress and development. As the state celebrates its foundation day, it’s an opportune moment to explore the manifold facets that make Haryana a jewel in the crown of India.
Haryana: A Glimpse into its Vital Statistics
Haryana, situated in the northern expanse of India, emerged as a separate state on November 1, 1966. With an area encompassing less than 1.4% of India’s land, it holds a distinctive rank as the 21st largest state. Sharing the capital city of Chandigarh with Punjab, it’s home to Faridabad, a bustling hub within the National Capital Region, alongside the prominent financial and technological center, Gurgaon.
Boasting a structured administrative setup, Haryana thrives with 6 divisions, 22 districts, and a myriad of tehsils, blocks, cities, towns, and villages. This organized structure has propelled the state into economic prominence, housing 32 special economic zones, primarily aligned with industrial corridors around the National Capital Region.
Economic Prowess and Development
Haryana’s economic might is undeniable, featuring Gurgaon as a stronghold for information technology and automobile industries. The state commands the 13th largest economy in India, with a Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of ₹7.65 trillion, accentuated further by the 5th highest GSDP per capita of ₹240,000.
This economic stronghold has been instrumental in bolstering the state’s human development index, securing the 11th position among Indian states. Its strategic location, enveloping Delhi from three sides, renders a significant portion of Haryana an indispensable part of India’s National Capital Region, pivotal for the nation’s developmental blueprint.
Rich Heritage, Flourishing Tourism, and Strategic Location
Haryana’s cultural heritage, abundant historical monuments, diverse flora and fauna, and burgeoning tourism sector highlight the state’s multifaceted allure. Bordered by Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh’s Yamuna River, its geographical location and well-developed infrastructure have been instrumental in fostering tourism and economic growth.
Aptly termed a historical and economic gateway to the National Capital Region, Haryana’s strategic position renders it a nucleus for planned development and progressive strides across various sectors.
Celebrating Haryana’s Journey
Amit Shah’s accolades resonate with the state’s illustrious journey. Haryana’s evolution from a historical and cultural treasure trove to an economic powerhouse showcases its indomitable spirit, unwavering commitment to progress, and remarkable contributions to India’s growth story.
As the state commemorates its foundation day, the celebratory spirit is not just a reflection of its historical past but a testament to its current stature and future potential. Haryana stands as a shining emblem of India’s progress, embodying resilience, valor, and unyielding determination.
