Hindi Diwas Celebrated Across The Country Today

Hindi Diwas is being celebrated across the country today. It was on this day in 1949 that the Constituent Assembly adopted Hindi written in Devanagari script as the official language of the country. Today, Hindi is one of the widely spoken languages in the world and the first language of more than 52 crore people.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will attend the Hindi Diwas 2026 program and the 6th All India Rajbhasha Sammelan (Official Language Conference) in Navi Mumbai today.

The two-day All India Official Language Conference is being organised in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, by the Department of Official Language under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The conference aims to highlight the relationship between Hindi and Maharashtra’s rich linguistic, cultural and literary traditions. In the inaugural session today, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will present the ‘Rajbhasha Gaurav’ and ‘Rajbhasha Kirti’ Awards for 2025-26.

Several important books and publications will also be launched. An exhibition featuring stalls by various institutions, organisations, banks and ministries is also being organised. A key attraction of this year’s conference will be a discussion centred on the National Song ‘Vande Mataram’.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, several Members of Parliament, scholars, litterateurs, educationists and senior officials will attend the conference.
