Haryana is a state in northern India. It became a separate state on November 1, 1966, after Punjab was divided based on language.

Hisar is the district in Haryana that is called a “counter-magnet city” for the National Capital Region (NCR). Let’s explore why Hisar has earned this name and what makes it special.
Hisar is known as the “magnet city” of Haryana because it was chosen as a counter-magnet city for the National Capital Region (NCR). This means it has the potential to grow as an important center, helping to reduce the overcrowding in New Delhi by attracting businesses, jobs, and development to the area.
Hisar is in the Hisar division of Haryana, located about 102 miles (165 kilometers) west of New Delhi. It is well-connected to the National Capital Region, which makes it an important place for development.
The history of Hisar goes back many centuries. It was once ruled by different empires and dynasties, including the Mauryans, Tughlaqs, Mughals, and the British. Until 1966, Hisar was part of Punjab. When Haryana became a separate state, Hisar became one of its districts.
