Ignou to establish Hindi cell in 56 regional centres



 Indira Gandhi National Open University (Ignou) has decided to establish a 'Rajbahasha Cell' in all the 56 regional centres of the university to promote the usage of Hindi. The university organised a teleconference on 'Hindi: Our official language and its implementation in all its regional centres'.
The session was broadcast on Gyan Darshan channel of the university where all the regional centres were simultaneously and proactively connected through the tele-conference mode in the Electronic and Media Production Centre (EMPC) at Ignou headquarters.
"The 'Rajbhasha Cell' shall comprise of five members comprising of regional director, assistant regional director, coordinators and staff of the centres. It shall conduct meeting once in every three months whose minutes shall be communicated to the headquarters," said Srikant Mohapatra, director, regional services division.
Welcoming the initiative Sharad Gupta, secretary, Rajbhasha, Ministry of Home Affairs, brought forward two aspects of Hindi as a language categorising it in literary and daily usage. According to him, "both the forms are acceptable depending upon the comfort level of the user. Our objective should be to make Hindi hassle free and meaningful. It is not necessary to use Hindi in its literature form everywhere, rather if we use the language spoken in its daily usage then it will make the task much easier."
"It is a common conception that the usage of Hindi is difficult while communicating scientific knowledge but today, there are many books available in Hindi translations to make the task easier. IT-sector has lots of tools available with it to enable the usage for example, there is UNICODE wherein anyone can use computer in any regional language, be it Hindi, Punjabi, Oriya etc," said Harendra Kumar, director, official language policy, Ministry of Home Affairs.
