Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah also greeted and shared the historic importance of Hindi Diwas 2024. Amit Shah said, “This year’s ‘Hindi Diwas’ is very important for all of us because on 14th September 1946, the Constituent Assembly of India had accepted Hindi as the official language. It is completing its 75th year and we are going to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the official language this year.”
He added, “Hindi has been very important for the official language and for the languages of all our states. Hindi has seen many ups and downs. But today, I can say with certainty that there is no competition between Hindi and any local language. Hindi is a friend of all the local languages. Whether it is Gujarati, Marathi or Telugu, every language gives strength to Hindi and Hindi gives strength to every language.”
He further said, “In the last 10 years, a lot of work has been done under the leadership of PM Modi to strengthen Hindi and local languages. PM Modi has put forth the importance of Hindi in front of the world by giving speeches in Hindi on many international forums and has also increased the interest towards our languages in our country.”
He concluded, “In the coming days, the Department of Official Language is also bringing a portal for translation from Hindi to all the languages of the Eighth Schedule, through which, whether it is a letter or a speech, we will be able to translate it into all languages in a very short time using Artificial Intelligence…” Hindi Diwas is recognition of the perennial existence and tradition of the language within the country’s cultural and administrative life.
