[amp_mcq option1=”Indira Gandhi” option2=”Sir Chhotu Ram” option3=”Sardar Hukum Singh” option4=”Lal Bahadur Shastri” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is: D. Lal Bahadur Shastri
Haryana state was formed on the recommendation of the Shriman Narayan Committee, which was set up by the Government of India in 1965 to look into the demand for a separate state for the people of Haryana. The committee submitted its report in 1966, and the state of Haryana was formed on November 1, 1966.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister of India when Haryana state was formed, but she did not head the committee that recommended the formation of the state.
- Sir Chhotu Ram was a prominent leader of the Jat community in Haryana, but he did not head the committee that recommended the formation of the state.
- Sardar Hukum Singh was a Chief Minister of Haryana, but he did not head the committee that recommended the formation of the state.
- Lal Bahadur Shastri was the Prime Minister of India when the Shriman Narayan Committee was set up, and he also headed the committee.
