Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the importance of promoting Hindi in India without undermining other languages. Speaking as the chairperson of the newly formed Parliamentary Committee on Official Language, he highlighted that the recently initiated education policy by Prime Minister Narendra Modi encourages teaching in students’ mother tongues. This approach helps children connect with various languages through their first language.
Shah noted that Hindi is increasingly associated with job opportunities and technology. The Indian government is working on integrating modern technology with the Hindi language to enhance its relevance in today’s world. The committee consists of 30 members, including 20 from Lok Sabha and 10 from Rajya Sabha.
He stressed the need for local language speakers to feel confident and not inferior. It is crucial for Hindi to be recognized as a unifying work language, achieved through mutual agreement among diverse language speakers. He also mentioned that, after 75 years of independence, it is vital for the nation to operate in a language understood by its people, as the Department of Official Language develops software to translate between languages on the Eighth Schedule automatically.
