BHOPAL : Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, addressing a gathering at New Market here on Tuesday, said that the state government was committed to promoting Hindi language. Chauhan said speaking in one’s mother tongue should be a matter of pride for every one. Chauhan appealed to the people to make maximum use of Hindi language.
Chief Minister said it is our privilege that the 10th International Hindi Convention is going to be held in Bhopal from September 10 to 12. It would be a golden chance to start a public movement to promote Hindi.
He said the Convention, to be organised under the aegis of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, film actor Amitabh Bachhan and several language lovers across the world. Chauhan said we do not oppose any language but our purpose is to promote Hindi, along with other languages. Hindi University has been opened in the state to promote Hindi which would help in imparting education of medicine and engineering in Hindi.
Chauhan urged the business community to install signboards of their establishments in Hindi and also make utmost use of Hindi in their work. He said that one can express one’s thoughts properly in one’s mother tongue only.
