Kurukshetra, Mar 4: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal today said that 'Sadbhavna Week' would be celebrated in the state to re-instill a sense of brotherhood among people.

He said the government was working with the aim of 'Haryana Ek – Haryanvi Ek' and though some anti-social elements had recently disrupted the harmony of society, an apparent reference to the Jat quota stir, the state government had tackled the situation through dialogue and use of law.

He was speaking at the foundation-stone laying ceremony of 'Gita Gyan Sansthanam' in Kurukshetra. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat also said that to re-establish India as 'Vishva Guru', every person should bring about a change in himself by imbibing the principles of Bhagavad Gita.

Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki said the institution would work towards disseminating the message of Bhagavad Gita to the entire world and announced Rs 1 crore for it.

Khattar said the state government had decided to give six acres of land for the 'Gita Gyan Sansthanam', which was being established with the objective of gathering ideas and showing a new path to the people.

He announced Rs 1 crore from his discretionary fund for the institution, which would include a Gita research centre and a museum.

The institute, which is being constructed at a cost of Rs 100 crores and is likely to be completed within three years. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev also announced Rs 1 crore for the institution on behalf of Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust.
