A Brief History Of The Academy
Haryana Academy of History and Culture The Centre of Haryana History, Culture
& Sicial Development was established by the July 2006 in Haryana Institute of Public
Administration (HIPA), Gurgaon. After about three years, the Goverment of Haryana
decided to change the Centre to an Academy in July 2009. As a result, the Haryana
Academy of History and Culture came into being on 27 July 2010. It had twofold purpose:
one, to carry out in-depth research on the awfully neglected history and culture
of Haryana and two, to present these to the people in colours true to history.
Soon after its creation, the Academy took upon itself the task of building an adequate
infrastructure – a Library, Records Room and Contemporary Archive – and a proper
academic ambience. And that over, the work was started in right earnest on different
projects relating to different aspects of life through the ages, concerning religion,
philosophy and ethics, education, language and literature, art, architecture and
folklore, polity, economy and social change.
It is heartening to note that with the generous help and support of our Government
and our people and hard work put in by our staff, the Academy has been able to achieve
in a short span of about six years what such institutions with far bigger infrastructures
and finances would require several decades or more to achieve. Anyway, to know more
