About the history and significance of Haryana Formation Day:
Haryana became a state on November 1, 1966, with the passage of the Punjab Reorganisation Act. The Government of India established the Shah Commission in April of the same year, led by Justice JC Shah, to divide the existing state of Punjab and determine the boundaries of the new state of Haryana based on the languages spoken by the people. On May 31, the Committee recommended that the then-districts of Hisar, Â Mahendragarh, Gurgaon, Rohtak, and Kamal be incorporated into the new state of Haryana. Meanwhile, instead of splitting Chandigarh, the state capital of Punjab, the Committee's report made the city into a union territory that serves as the capital of both Haryana and Punjab. Thus, every year on November 1, people celebrate Haryana's birth by participating in public celebrations and celebrating the culture and traditions that define them today.
