India has taken the initiative to promote the use of Hindi language in the United Nations (UN). Under this, India has contributed US $ 1 million (about Rs 8.3 crore) to the United Nations (UN).
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ruchira Kamboj handed over a check to Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Department of Global Communications, for expanding the use of Hindi language in the world organisation.
Ruchira Kamboj said in a tweet, “Investing in linguistic inclusivity. We handed over a check of one million dollars to Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Department of Global Communications, for increasing the use of Hindi in the UN. With the Hindi in the UN (Hindi@UN) project, we are breaking down barriers and increasing public access.
Meanwhile, in another tweet, Kamboj said that this is an initiative towards promoting inclusive dialogue and understanding.
Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Kamboj said, UN’s efforts to mainstream and strengthen news and multimedia content in the Hindi language have been appreciated in India and in countries where Hindi-speaking populations reside.

India is happy to partner with the United Nations.
