IGNOU to launch ‘Rajbasha’ cells

To promote the use of Hindi, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) will establish a ‘rajbhasha’ cell in all its 56 regional centres. The university organised a teleconference in this regard on Tuesday.

Sharad Gupta, secretary, rajbhasha, Ministry of Home Affairs, welcomed the initiative of IGNOU to promote the usage of Hindi.

Srikant Mohapatra, director, regional services division, announced that ‘The ‘rajbhasha’ cell shall comprise five members comprising regional director, assistant regional director, coordinators and staff of the RC. It shall conduct meeting once every three months.’

Gupta added that ‘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.’

Harendra Kumar, Director, Official Language Policy, Ministry of Home Affairs said, ‘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.
