National Hindi Day 2025: Check Date, Theme and Why It is Celebrated on 14 September

Hindi Diwas, which is observed on 14 September, is a milestone day in Indian post-independence history when Hindi in the Devanagari script was formally declared as the language of the Union by the Constituent Assembly. The day serves as a crucial reminder to understand and celebrate India's linguistic heritage. 

Each year, societies, institutions, and government conduct competitions, cultural events, and campaigns to encourage the usage of Hindi in administration, literature, and everyday life. To millions, Hindi is far more than a means of communication, it is a unifying thread of the country and an image of its unity in diversity.
