Addressing the closing ceremony of the three-day cultural festival and exhibition organised on the occasion of 60th Haryana Day at Yavanika Garden, Sector 5, Saini said: “Under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Haryana is moving forward on the path of innovation, infrastructure, and inclusive growth. Our goal is the balanced development of the state, ensuring that whether urban or rural, rich or poor, everyone benefits from progress.”
The Chief Minister said the festival offered a glimpse into Haryana’s cultural, historical, and developmental journey. Folk songs, dances, and art forms presented by local artists brought the state’s vibrant traditions to life. “This three-day celebration was not merely a government event but a festival celebrating the very soul of Haryana,” he said, congratulating the artists who were honoured during the event.
Students showcased innovation and technology through exhibitions that highlighted the state’s bright future. The event, he said, turned into a true people’s festival, reviving Haryana’s culture and folk heritage on stage.
