Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank inaugurated the newly constructed building of the Hyderabad regional center of the Central Institute of Hindi, Agra virtually. The inauguration ceremony was attended by scholars and students from across the country. The programme chairman was CH Malla Reddy, Minister of Labour, Employment, Women and Child Development, Government of Telangana.
During the inauguration, the Education Minister said, "We are all realizing the dream of Gandhi in which we have to further empower the 22 languages of the country which are included in the 8th schedule of the Constitution and the important responsibility of connecting them is on Hindi. This will probably be a language with more than 9 lakh words and this power is definitely coming from its relationship with these 22 languages of the country."
"In the new education policy, we have come up with education in the mother tongue. Language is not the word, but the spirit. In language, there is tradition, culture, life and value," he added.
The Hyderabad Centre building has been inaugurated on the land of Padma Bhushan Moturi Satyanarayan, who was an ardent follower of Mahatma Gandhi, he said. Mahatma Gandhi said that all our languages are the same and we have to empower all of them including Hindi that connects all languages.
Ramesh Pokhriyal mentioned that many countries have provided education in the mother tongue, including Germany, France, Japan, Israel etc. Using their mother tongue, these countries have made great progress in the field of research and technology.
"We also have to know foreign languages, but should not leave our roots. We are trying to make Indian Language University," he said.
He also urged the states to implement the system of education in the mother tongue. The new education policy will act as a cornerstone in developing Indian languages.
"The Central Hindi Institute can have a very big role in this regard. The objectives for which the institute has been set up should fulfill those objectives. About 14 thousand students/teachers have received training from the Hyderabad center. They are all Hindi ambassadors. I believe that people will get direction in the near future through the Central Institute of Hindi," the Education Minister said.
