Haryana has a special connection with Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji as there are more than 30 Gurudwaras in the state by his name. Government has been taking decisions from time-to-time to preserve these historical Gurudwaras. The Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal recently announced the establishment of a ‘peeth’ in the name of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at Kurukshetra University. Comprehensive research work will be done in this ‘peeth’ on the life of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, so that his biography can be understood in a better manner and can be promoted in the society, especially among the youth.
At the same time, the Chief Minister has also announced to set up a museum dedicated to Sikh Gurus in Haryana. It will highlight the life and teachings of Sikh Gurus. The history and teachings of Sikh Gurus are not only a rare legacy for us but also one of the most important foundations for building a strong and a morally enlightened society. Besides this, the Central and State Governments are engaged in the exercise of bringing the state on the world map in terms of religion and tourism. For this, many developmental works are going on in different phases. Moreover, Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has also taken a historic decision to observe December 26 as ‘Veer Bal Diwas’ so as to honour the martyrdom of Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji.
It is worth mentioning that Haryana Government pays tribute to religious leaders, saints and martyrs time-to-time by holding public meetings, functions, seminars all over the state. Apart from this, a special scheme, ‘Sant Mahapurush Vichar Prasar Yojana’ has also been started to celebrate the birth anniversary of great men in Haryana. The Chief Minister is of the view that the teachings, ideologies and philosophies of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and other religious gurus and saints should be disseminated in the society. Along with the government, social and religious institutions are also playing an important role in this direction, he added.
