SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today addressed the youth during an event “Hindi Rangmanch – Humari Bhasha, Humari Pehchaan” organized by Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti at Tagore Hall, Srinagar. In his address, the Lieutenant Governor lauded the remarkable efforts of Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti towards the promotion of the official language Hindi in Jammu Kashmir.

“In the last 75 years, Hindi has become the language that connects the country and our shared culture. During the freedom struggle, Hindi language was considered the medium for exchanging sentiments of the entire country. Hindi is not only a medium of communication but is also a symbol of pride, integrity, unity and identity for us Indians. It has played a very important role in weaving our diversity into the thread of unity.

Our policy makers had stressed that there should be harmony between Hindi and other languages of the country,” the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor observed that India is a multilingual country where 453 living languages are officially spoken and among these 453 languages, Hindi has been the connecting link for 140 crore Indians. He asked the youth to maintain linguistic harmony and learn and respect other languages.

Along with Hindi, we should be proud of all our languages. Apart from our mother tongue, we should also learn other languages and spread the cultural and literary heritage of those languages,” the Lieutenant Governor said. Speaking about the discussion held in the Constituent Assembly on 14 September 1949, the Lieutenant Governor said that when the debate was going on in India on the selection of the official language, Hindi got the most support from those areas where Hindi was not spoken.

For our Freedom Fighters, Policy Makers, Hindi was linked to the identity of the nation. They saw Hindi as a thread of harmony and it has further enriched the diversity present in our cultural heritage, he said. He also appreciated the endeavours of Culture Department and J&K Academy of Art, Culture & Languages to promote J&K’s linguistic heritage.

On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor felicitated the students, teachers and artists for their exceptional participation in a campaign launched by Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti in the month of June-July this year in four Kendriya Vidyalayas to generate interest in Hindi language among students of class 6th to class 10th through various activities.

Principal Secretary Culture, Shri Brij Mohan Sharma; Param Vir Chakra recipient (Honorary Captain) Yogendra Yadav; MD & CEO J&K Bank, Shri Amitava Chatterjee; Deputy Commissioner, KVS, Jammu, Shri Nagendra Goyal; National President Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti, Ms. Nasreen Ali Nidhi; senior officials, prominent literary personalities, heads of educational institutions and youth in large number were present.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
