With agriculture, Haryana is also a leading state in the industrial production and service sector, said President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday. 

While speaking at a civic reception in Chandigarh, she said that it is a major automobile-producing state. 

Murmu noted that more than 250 Fortune-500 companies have their offices in Gurugram and this city is called ‘Global City’. 

She also noted that Haryana is also among the top-five states and union territories in terms of per capita income.

The President acknowledged the contribution of Haryana in various fields such as politics, space science, sports, food security of the country, industrial production, service sector, defence etc.  

She said that with an area of less than 1.4 per cent and a population of less than 2 per cent of India, Haryana has been contributing immensely to the overall development of the country. 

Farmers of this state have made invaluable contributions to the food security of India. 

She noted that ‘Centres of Excellence’ have been set up in Haryana in collaboration with countries like Israel, Brazil and Netherlands to adopt successful modern practices in the agriculture sector.
