Renowned litterateur Sh. Rajkumar Rakesh graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Sh. Desh Nirmohi, Editor, Adarsh Prakashan was also present during the event. Sh. Rajkumar began his talk on the topic ‘Contribution of Hindi in Nation’s Development’ by tracing the origin of the Hindi language and its development. He said that besides fostering feelings of connectedness and belongingness, Hindi transforms humans into better beings by developing their inner as well as intellectual strength and cultivating sympathy in them. The talk was followed by a cultural program that included ‘natti’ and haryanvi dance performances, folk song renditions, doha antakshari and a quiz on Hindi. The celebration witnessed the enthusiastic participation of the students. The participants of various events were awarded certificates by the dignitaries.
Principal Dr. Nisha Bhargava lauded this initiative of the Hindi Department to sensitize students about the importance of Hindi in our lives. She added that while it is a matter of immense pride for us Indians that foreign countries are now recognizing the greatness of Indian languages and literature, we need to work towards the upliftment of our language and preserving our rich linguistic heritage. Dr. Bhargava also recited the self-composed poem ‘Krishn aur Arjun’ on this occasion.
