SBH celebrates Hindi Day

The State Bank of Hyderabad celebrated Hindi Day on Monday. The function was presided by SBH managing director Santanu Mukherjee. Dr Prabhakar Tripathi, professor and HOD of Hindi, Hindi Mahavidyalaya, was the chief guest. Dr Vishnu Bhagwan, assistant general manager, conducted the proceedings.

Santanu Mukherjee, in his address, said, “Hindi is not just a language. It’s closely associated with our self respect just like our National Flag and National Anthem. As Hindi is our official language, its usage should be increased in the bank’s functioning. Hindi as a medium of effective communication serves a link language between the customers and the bank. The bank is making efforts to generate ATM slips and facilitate internet banking in Hindi.

Dr Prabhar Tripathi said, “Hindi is the identity of Indian nationality and it is also a language of our self esteem.”

He highlighted the special features of Hindi language and appealed to all those present to keep the torch burning for the propagation of Hindi. He added that Hindi serves as a cultural bridge among all Indian languages.
