He explained that the programme is part of a broader effort that includes courses such as Hindi Prabodh, Praveen, Pragya, and Parangat, each designed to build progressively advanced language competencies among government employees.
He underscored that the initiative is not merely about language learning but also about enhancing administrative efficiency, confidence, and transparency. “The use of Hindi enables direct communication with citizens and contributes to a more accessible and responsive governance system,” he remarked.
In his address during the inaugural session, CUKashmir Librarian, Dr. Nazir Ahmad Bhat emphasized the growing importance of Hindi as a functional language in governance and institutional communication.

Highlighting the availability of digital tools and institutional support, he encouraged participants to actively engage with both online and offline resources to improve their language skills and meet the increasing demands of official correspondence in Hindi.
