Happy Hindi Diwas 2020: The day is celebrated across the country on September 14, 202 to mark the adoption of Hindi written in Devanagari as the official language of the country by the Constituent Assembly in 1949.
Hindi in today’s time is one of the widely spoken languages in the world and also the first language of more than 520 million people. Hindi is always well received at the International forums, with the government taking several steps to promote Rajbhasha.
One of the major contributions of promoting Hindi at the international form was done by the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee whose address in Hindi at UN General Assembly is still recalled by everyone.
Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and others extend their greetings on Hindi Diwas:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of ‘Hindi Diwas’ extended his greetings and congratulated the linguists who contributed to the development of the Hindi language.
हिन्दी दिवस पर आप सभी को बहुत-बहुत शुभकामनाएं। इस अवसर पर हिन्दी के विकास में योगदान दे रहे सभी भाषाविदों को मेरा हार्दिक अभिनंदन।
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) September 14, 2020
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also expressed his gratitude towards those who contributed to the development of the language. He called the Hindi language as an unbreakable part of Indian culture and added that Hindi has been working to unify the whole country for centuries.
एक देश की पहचान उसकी सीमा व भूगोल से होती है, लेकिन उसकी सबसे बड़ी पहचान उसकी भाषा है। भारत की विभिन्न भाषाएं व बोलियां उसकी शक्ति भी हैं और उसकी एकता का प्रतीक भी। सांस्कृतिक व भाषाई विविधता से भरे भारत में ‘हिंदी’ सदियों से पूरे देश को एकता के सूत्र में पिरोने का काम कर रही है।
— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) September 14, 2020
हिंदी भारतीय संस्कृति का अटूट अंग है। स्वतंत्रता संग्राम के समय से यह राष्ट्रीय एकता और अस्मिता का प्रभावी व शक्तिशाली माध्यम रही है। हिंदी की सबसे बड़ी शक्ति इसकी वैज्ञानिकता, मौलिकता और सरलता है।
— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) September 14, 2020
मोदी सरकार की नयी शिक्षा नीति से हिंदी व अन्य भारतीय भाषाओं का समांतर विकास होगा।
आज हिंदी दिवस के अवसर पर मैं इसके सशक्तिकरण में योगदान देने वाले सभी महानुभावों को नमन करता हूँ और देशवासियों से यह आवाहन भी करता हूँ कि अपनी मातृभाषा के साथ-साथ हिंदी का अधिक से अधिक प्रयोग कर उनके संरक्षण व संवर्धन में अपना योगदान देने का संकल्प लें।
— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) September 14, 2020
हिंदी दिवस की शुभकामनाएं।
The Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal also took to his official twitter account to congratulate everyone on this day. In his tweet, he mentioned that Hindi plays an important role in the political, social, and cultural landscape of the country. It plays a key role in establishing unity in diversity.
किसी भी देश के सामाजिक, राजनीतिक और सांस्कृतिक विकास में उस देश की भाषा का महत्वपूर्ण योगदान होता है। यह संपूर्ण राष्ट्र की एकता और अखंडता की महत्वपूर्ण कड़ी होती है।
