On a crisp January morning, India’s top leaders united in felicitations for Himachal Pradesh marking its 56th Full Statehood Day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the tributes via a poignant X post, invoking the divine essence of the mountain state and its people’s enduring contributions to the nation.
‘Warmest greetings to the people of Himachal Pradesh – where nature meets culture – on this Full Statehood Day. Their talent and courage have forever served our nation. Here’s to a golden future for them and prosperity for Devbhoomi,’ the PM shared, capturing the imagination of millions.
This milestone recalls January 25, 1971, when Himachal transitioned to full statehood, carving its niche with snow-capped peaks, apple orchards, and ancient temples drawing global admirers. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla elaborated on its global fame for pristine nature, peaceful vibes, diverse cultures, warm hospitality, and sacred traditions.
‘Heartiest congratulations to all residents. May this Himalayan gem stride towards sustained growth, wealth, and equilibrium, as its people thrive in joy and vitality, upholding the state’s proud legacy,’ Birla posted.
Home Minister Amit Shah prayed for the spiritually charged land to flourish in development. JP Nadda saluted its warrior spirit and timeless heritage. CM Sukhu emphasized collective resolve for an empowered, green future, while Delhi’s Rekha Gupta hailed it as national pride.
These messages transcend mere formalities; they reinforce Himachal’s strategic and cultural stature. As the state eyes sustainable tourism, hydropower, and eco-friendly growth, such endorsements signal robust central support, promising a brighter horizon amid challenges like climate change and infrastructure needs.
