New Delhi: The Indira
Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) celebrated the World Hindi
Day with competitions and contests, an official said Wednesday.
Celebrated annually Jan 10, the World Hindi Day function at IGNOU
took place Tuesday and witnessed participation from a large number
of varsity employees.
"Hindi is the link language which covers the entire country
including Delhi where people come from all other cities," said M.
Aslam, the vice chancellor of IGNOU.
"It is necessary to publicise Hindi voluntarily rather than by
pressure," he added.
The university awarded 10 winners of a quiz and a typing test held
as part of the celebration.
The university, among the largest in the world, serves the
educational aspirations of over four million students in India and
36 other countries.
