SASARAM------------------------On September 14, 1949, the Indian Constituent Assembly accepted Hindi as the official language of India. Since then, this day is celebrated every year as Hindi Day. District Education Officer Madan Rai said this while inaugurating the symposium-cum-poetry conference organized by the Education Department on the occasion of Hindi Day. He said that Hindi is not only a language, but it is also an identity of our culture and unity. This language connects different parts of the country. Addressing the program, District Program Officer Rohit Roshan said that Hindi is not just a medium, but it is also our thinking, our identity, and our cultural heritage. It is also a testimony to linguistic diversity. Dr. Rajendra Prasad Singh, Principal of Rohtas Women's College, who was present as a speaker at the program, said that the main objective of celebrating Hindi Day is to promote the Hindi language and make people aware of its importance.
