Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma called upon all to unite efforts to further elevate the popular language. Hindi is not just a language but a profound expression of India’s culture, thoughts, and ideas. Hindi enjoys global recognition, being widely spoken in countries like Nepal, Suriname, Fiji, Mauritius, and Guyana. Hindi played a crucial role in igniting patriotism and self-respect among citizens during India’s freedom movement, he said. The conference served as a significant platform to discuss strategies for the promotion of Hindi in governance, technology, and daily life, reinforcing its role as a bridge to national unity and cultural pride. It also provided insights into the latest technological tools for Hindi usage in computing. It was organised by the Official Language Department of the Union Home Ministry at JECC in Jaipur’s Sitapura, Rajasthan, on February 16-17, 2015. It is the first ever regional official language conference to be held in India.
