Haryana Day 2025
Haryana day will be celebrated on Saturday, 1st November 2025. The day is celebrated by people of Haryana and is a regional holiday in the state. It is always observed on 1st November to commemorate the formation of the state of Haryana which happened in the year 1966.
In April 1966, the Indian national government established a commission tasked with surveying East Punjab and making determinations regarding its inclusion in the newly formed state of Haryana. Their report, submitted in May, saw the implementation of most of their recommendations. However, the city of Chandigarh was designated as a 'joint capital' shared by both Haryana and Punjab, contrary to the recommendation based on language groups.
Haryana, with its population of 25 million, commemorates Haryana Day with vibrant and lively celebrations. The streets come alive with excitement, featuring events like bicycle races and foot races. A food festival is organised in tourist hubs on the same day, accompanied by blood donation drives, live music performances, brilliantly illuminated and adorned public buildings, and a host of other festivities to mark this special occasion.

History of Haryana Day
Haryana Day, an annual cultural festival observed on the 1 November, holds a special place in the festive calendar of the state of Haryana. It is one of several celebrations that keep the spirit of festivity alive in Haryana throughout the year. This festival commemorates the historic moment in 1966 when Haryana was officially separated from Punjab as an independent state. Haryana Day is marked by a series of vibrant events and activities that bring the entire state together in celebration.
During Haryana Day, various exciting events take place, including cycle rallies and a rally-cum-race from Chandigarh to Panchkula town. Participants, including cyclists and enthusiasts, join in with great enthusiasm, filling the streets with cheer and jubilation across the state.
The festival also features the Pakwan Pratiyogita, a food festival held at tourist complexes throughout the state. Additionally, blood donation camps and Run for Fun events contribute to the day's significance. To enhance the vibrancy of Haryana Day, musical performances are organised in the evenings in various cities across Haryana.
Buildings and state complexes are adorned with bright lights and decorations, creating a captivating visual spectacle. Various contests, races, and engaging activities are organised to infuse joy into Haryana Day, with active and enthusiastic participation from the people.
In April 1966, the Indian government established the Shah Commission to review the status of Punjab and determine the boundaries for the new state of Haryana, taking into account the linguistic preferences of the local population. The commission unveiled its recommendations at the end of May 1966, leading to the formation of the state of Haryana on 1 November 1966. Notably, one significant deviation from the commission's report was the decision to make Chandigarh a union territory, serving as the capital for both Punjab and Haryana, rather than dividing it into two parts. The name 'Haryana' itself translates to 'the land of God'.
