Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram Tuesday exhorted various government departments to use more and more Hindi in their day-to-day work, saying that it is emerging as the language of trade and employment in the country.
'Hindi is emerging as the language of trade and employment,' said Chidambaram, addressing a function organised to celebrate 'Hindi Diwas' in Delhi at Vigyan Bhawan.
Asking government departments to increase use of Hindi in their day-to-day work, the home minister said: 'For effective implementation of developmental schemes, it is necessary to reach out to people in their own language'.
Seeking faster growth of Hindi, he observed that easy access to computers is essential for its spread.
Hindi was declared official language unanimously by the Constituent Assembly Sep 14, 1949. Since then, the day is celebrated as Hindi Day in all central government offices situated in India and abroad.
