World Hindi Day



Every year, World Hindi Day is celebrated on January 10 to honour the contributions of the Hindi speakers, the importance of the language and for making it adequately known all over the world.

In 1949, Hindi was spoken for the first time in the United Nations General Assembly. In 2006, the first Vishwa Hindi Diwas was observed by the then Prime Minister of the country – Dr. Manmohan Singh. Since then, January 10 has been observed as World Hindi Day everywhere.

Hindi is observed as the official language of the Indian Government and is also one of the official languages of the union of India, besides English. One of the best ways to celebrate World Hindi Day is by promoting the significance of the language and urging people to include Hindi in their speeches, performances, music and theatre arts. Hindi plays a major role in the cultural and linguistic landscape of the world – it is time to appreciate the beauty and the diversity of the language.
