Mumbai/Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar stated that Hindi holds a strong position on the global linguistic stage, noting that millions speak the language abroad.
Speaking at the sixth All India Official Language Conference on Monday at the CIDCO Exhibition Centre in Navi Mumbai alongside Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, he praised Hindi’s growing international recognition at platforms like the United Nations as a symbol of India’s cultural strength. The conference focused on promoting Hindi as an official language nationwide, expanding its usage, and executing the official language policy effectively.
Recalling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s words that language is the soul of civilisation, culture, and national consciousness, Bandi Sanjay Kumar affirmed that local languages and mother tongues constitute the greatest strength of a self-reliant India. He commended Amit Shah for integrating Indian languages with technology, administration, and global discourse.
He highlighted significant digital initiatives by the Department of Official Language, including the Hindi Shabd Sindhu digital dictionary, which now contains over seven lakh words, with 25,000 words drawn from various regional Indian languages to build vibrant bridges between native tongues.
The Minister emphasized that Hindi’s importance in education, communication, and governance continues to expand, boosted globally by cinema, literature, and journalism. Bandi Sanjay Kumar stressed that mother tongues must not remain confined to homes, but should form the bedrock of primary, secondary, and higher education across universities.
He added that indigenous languages must be actively embraced in scientific laboratory research, industrial commerce, digital communication, and global diplomacy, ensuring they gain equal prominence on international platforms while powering national development towards a self-reliant Bharat.
