New Delhi: Union Home
Minister P. Chidambaram Tuesday exhorted various government
departments to use more and more Hindi in their day-to-day work,
saying that it is emerging as the language of trade and employment
in the country.
"Hindi is emerging as the language of trade and employment," said
Chidambaram, addressing a function organised to celebrate "Hindi
Diwas" here at Vigyan Bhawan.
Asking government departments to increase use of Hindi in their
day-to-day work, the home minister said: "For effective
implementation of developmental schemes, it is necessary to reach
out to people in their own language".
Seeking faster growth of Hindi, he observed that easy access to
computers is essential for its spread.
Hindi was declared official language unanimously by the
Constituent Assembly Sep 14, 1949. Since then, the day is
celebrated as Hindi Day in all central government offices situated
in India and abroad.
During the function organised to celebrate Hindi Day, Vice
President Hamid Ansari gave away Rajiv Gandhi Gyan-Vigyan Maulik
Pustak Lekhan Puraskar and Indira Gandhi Raj Bhasha Puraskar
2008-09 for original book writing in Hindi and excellent work done
by them in Hindi, respectively.
Speaking on the occasion, Ansari suggested adoption of common
words from other languages to enrich Hindi. He also called upon
the people to promote Hindi.
