Green Revolution in India began in the 1960s, through the introduction of high-yield crop varieties and
application of modern agricultural techniques, and led to an increase in food production in India. It began after
high-yielding wheat was first introduced to India in 1963 by American agronomist Dr. Norman E Borlaug, who
is known as "the Father of the Green Revolution". India's programme of Green Revolution was led by Dr. M.S.
Swaminathan, known as "the Father of the Green Revolution in India". The introduction of high-yielding
varieties of seeds and the increased use of chemical fertilizers and irrigation led to the increase in production
needed to make India self-sufficient in food grains, thus improvingagriculture in India.[1] The methods adopted
included the use of high yielding varieties (HYV)of seeds along with the use of modern farming methods

Measures adopted[edit]

Use of insecticides and pesticides
Consolidation of holdings
Land reforms

Use of (chemical) fertilisers
Use of sprinklers or drip irrigation

Rakhigarhi in Haryana is home to the largest and one of the oldest sites of the ancient Indus Valley
Civilization, Rakhigarhi is a village in Hisar District,

Other notable Indus Valley Civilization sites in the state are Mitathal and Banawali.

Firoz Shah Tughlaq established a fort at Hisar in 1354 to further fortify the region, and also constructed canals
or rajwahas

Hem Chandra Vikramaditya is known to be born in Rewari in south Haryana, started his career as a supplier of
merchandise especially, Cannons and Gun Powder to Sher Shah Suri's army, during the 1540s. Gradually,

Hem Chandra progressed and held various positions in Suri administration during Sher Shah's son, Islam
Shah's regime during 15461553, and rose to become Prime Minister and General of Suri army under Adil
Shah. During 155356, ruling as de facto king of northern India, Hem Chandra won 22 battles continuously
against Afghan rebels and Mughalforces from Punjab to Bengal without losing any to consolidate his empire.
After defeating Akbar's army at Agra and Delhi in Battle for Delhi (1556), Hem Chandra acceeded to the throne
of Delhion 7 October 1556, declaring 'Hindu Raj' in north India and himself as a Vikramaditya king on the
pattern of earlier Hindu kings in India. Hem Chandra lost his life in the second battle of Panipat on November
the 5th, 1556, when Akbar's forces defeated this local Haryanvi warrior rightly calledSamrat Hem Chandra
Vikramaditya

The Battle of Delhi in October 1556, at Tughlakabad in Delhi, was an epoch making battle between the Hindu
king Hem Chandra Vikramaditya called Hemu and forces of Mughal kingAkbar, led by his General Tardi Beg
Khan. Hemu, the 'Prime Minister'-cum-'Chief of Army' of Surs, who already had 21 victories to his credit since
1553, winning large areas, right up toBengal made a final assault on the historic capital of India, with a large
army to uproot the Muslim invaders who had occupied this ancient Indian city since 1192, when the Hindu
king Prithvi Raj Chauhan was defeated by Mohammad Gauri. Abul Fazal affirms in Akbarnama,[1] that " Hemu
did great deeds such as men could not conceive".

PANIPAT The battles fought at the city in 1526, 1556 and 1761 were turning points in Indian history. The city is
famous in India by the name of "City of Weaver".
The First Battle of Panipat was fought on 21 April 1526 between Ibrahim Lodhi, the Afghan Sultan of Delhi, and
the Turco-Mongol warlord Babur, who later established Mughal rule in Northern Indian subcontinent. Babur's
force defeated Ibrahim's much larger force of over one lakh (one hundred thousand) soldiers. This First battle
of Panipat thus ended the 'Lodi Rule' established by Bahlul Lodhi in Delhi.
The Second Battle of Panipat was fought on 5 November 1556 between the forces of Akbar andSamrat Hem
Chandra Vikramaditya, also known as Hemu, a King of North India,[1][2] who belonged to Rewari in Haryana and
had captured the large states of Agra and Delhi defeating Akbar's forces. This king, also known
as Vikramaditya had won 22 battles against the Afghanrebels from 15531556 from Punjab to Bengal, and had
his coronation at Purana Quila in Delhi on 7 October 1556 and had established 'Hindu Raj' in North India,
before the 2nd battle of Panipat.Hem Chandra had a large army, and initially his forces were winning, but
suddenly Hemu was struck by an arrow in the eye and he lost his senses. On not seeing him in his howdah on
the back of an elephant, his army fled. He was later captured and beheaded by the Mughals. His head was
sent to Kabul to be hanged outside Delhi Darwaza and torso was hanged outside Purana Quila in Delhi.
This Second battle of Panipat thus ended the 'Hindu Raj' established by Hemu in north India, albeit for a short
period.
The Third Battle of Panipat was fought in 1761 between the Maratha Empire and
the Afghan and Baloch invaders.

Panipat is a city of textiles and carpets. It is the biggest center for quality blankets and carpets in India and has
a handloom weavingindustry. In addition, Panipat city is the biggest centre of "Shoddy Yarn" in the World.
Blankets prepared through Handloom and Power loom are sent to soldiers. The Samalkha subdivision of this
district is famous for Foundry of Agriculture instruments. In this way, this district, which is continuously
developing on the industrial base, has an unlimited employment capacity. Not only from Haryana but

Businessmen and Engineers and unemployed worker artist Weavers and labour from other states of India visit
here in search of employment and settle here permanently.[5]
Panipat also has heavy industry, with a refinery of the Indian Oil Corporation, a Panipat Thermal Power station
(plant) Corporation(h.p.g.c.l.)and a National Fertilizers Limited plant.
Some salient features of industry in Panipat include:

Three major public sector projects: the Indian Oil Corporation oil refinery, the National Fertilizers
Limited plant and the thermal power station.
Biggest centre in the country for producing shoddy (recycled) yarn, and a large consumer of rags
for reprocessing.
Biggest centre in the country for producing low priced blankets, a traditional supplier of barrack
blankets to the armed forces.
Biggest centre in the country engaged in export of cotton durries, made-ups, throws and mats.

Rao Tula Ram, a Yadav, was one of the key leaders of the Indian rebellion of 1857, in Haryana, where he is
considered a state hero. He is credited with temporarily driving all of the British rule from the region that today
is southwest Haryana during the Rebellion, and also helping rebel forces fighting in the historic city of Delhi
with men, money and material. Noted as a good administrator and military commander, after the 1857
uprising ended, he left India, met rulers of Iran and Afghanistan and also established contacts with the Tsar of
Russia, to seek their help to fight a war to free India from the British. His plans were cut short by his death
in Kabul.

Formation of Haryana[edit]
Haryana state was formed on 1 November 1966. The Indian government set up the Shah Commission under
the chairmanship of Justice JC Shah on 23 April 1966 to divide the existing Punjab and determine the
boundaries of new state Haryana giving consideration to the language spoken by the people. The commission
gave its report on 31 May 1966. According to this report the then districts
of Hisar,Mahendragarh, Gurgaon, Rohtak and Karnal were to be a part of the new state of Haryana. Further,
the tehsils of Jind in (district Sangrur), Narwana in (district Sangrur), Naraingarh, Ambala and Jagadhri were
also to be included.
The commission recommended that the tehsil of Kharad (which includes Chandigarh, the state capital of
Punjab) should also be a part of Haryana. However, only a small portion of Kharad was given to
Haryana.[14] The city of Chandigarh was made a union territory, serving as the capital of both Punjab and
Haryana.
Bhagwat Dayal Sharma became first Chief Minister of Haryana.

The Chief Minister of Haryana is the chief executive of the north Indian state of Haryana. As per the Constitution of
India, thegovernor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following
elections to the Haryana Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a
majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of
ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief
minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[1]
Since 1966, ten people have served as the Chief Minister of Haryana. The first was B. D. Sharma of the Indian
National Congressparty. His partymate Bansi Lal is Haryana's longest-serving chief minister; he held office for over
12 years, the last 3 of which came as a leader of the Haryana Vikas Party. Chaudhary Devi Lal, the fifth Chief
Minister of Haryana, went on to twice serve as Deputy Prime Minister of India under prime ministers V. P.
Singh and Chandra Shekhar. His son Om Prakash Chautala has served the most number of discontinuous stints as
Chief Minister (four), as a member of three different parties.
The incumbent chief minister is the Bharatiya Janata Party's Manohar Lal Khattar, who was sworn in on 26 October
2014.
