Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said there is a need to increase the acceptance of Hindi in the country without competing with any other Indian language.
Addressing the newly constituted Parliamentary Committee on Official Language after being re-elected as its chairperson, he said that in the new education policy brought by PM Narendra Modi, emphasis has been given for imparting primary education in the mother tongue as children get connected with many languages when they get basic education in their mother tongue.
According to an official statement, Shah said Hindi is now in a way associated with employment and technology, and the government of India is also making special efforts to integrate all the new age technologies with the Hindi language.
The Parliamentary Committee on Official Language comprises 30 MPs — 20 from Lok Sabha and 10 from Rajya Sabha.
“We should take care that the speakers of any local language do not have an inferiority complex and Hindi should be generally accepted as the language of work with consensus,” he said.
Shah underlined that after 75 years of Independence, it is very important that the country is governed in the language of the country and efforts have to be made in this regard. He said the Department of Official Language is developing a software that will automatically translate all the languages of the 8th Schedule on a technical basis.
