Introduction
Haryana Diwas 2025 (हरियाणा दिवस 2025) will be celebrated on Saturday, November 1, 2025, marking 59 glorious years since the formation of the state of Haryana. This special day honors the state’s creation on November 1, 1966, when Haryana was carved out from the larger state of Punjab to give the Hindi-speaking population a separate identity.
From being one of India’s smallest states to becoming one of the fastest-growing in agriculture, industry, and sports, Haryana stands tall as a shining example of courage, culture, and progress.

History of Haryana Formation Day
After India’s independence, linguistic and cultural differences between Hindi and Punjabi speakers in the unified state of Punjab led to the demand for a separate state. The movement gained strength in the early 1960s, and after years of peaceful advocacy, the State Reorganisation Commission recommended the bifurcation of Punjab.
As a result, on November 1, 1966, the new state of Haryana was officially formed, with Chandigarh serving as a shared capital between Punjab and Haryana.
Since then, November 1 has been observed as Haryana Diwas — a day celebrating the spirit, unity, and resilience of its people.
