NEW DELHI, OCT 29, 2025: ADDRESSING the first meeting of the Hindi Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Science and Technology was held yesterday in New Delhi under the chairmanship of Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology; Minister of State for Prime Minister's Office, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasized that the use of Hindi across all Ministries and Departments is essential, as Hindi is not just a language but a growing symbol of India's cultural identity.

He noted that employees from southern India are increasingly using Hindi, reflecting its emergence as a pan-Indian language of communication.

Dr. Jitendra Singh underlined the need to integrate Hindi with modern technology to strengthen its presence in science and technology communication. He said that AI-driven translation tools are enhancing the dissemination and interpretation of Hindi content, enabling scientific knowledge to reach a wider audience in a more meaningful way.

The Minister stressed that all Ministry websites should be equally accessible in Hindi to ensure that scientific information is available to citizens in their own language. He also announced that officials and employees demonstrating excellence in the use of Hindi will be recognized and awarded by the Ministry.

Underscoring the importance of linguistic diversity, the Minister also said that the development and promotion of regional languages is equally vital. He further stated that India's scientific and technological growth must reflect the voices of its diverse linguistic landscape. Hindi and regional languages together can serve as powerful vehicles for innovation, communication, and nation-building.

Union minister also highlighted that the University Grants Commission (UGC) is providing Hindi-based tools and resources for employees, thereby strengthening the role of Hindi in scientific communication. He further mentioned that all Ministries should adopt Hindi for official work to strengthen its position nationwide.

During the meeting, members of the Committee suggested that the use of Hindi in departmental proceedings should be further increased and that scientific content should be disseminated in Hindi to promote accessibility. They also recommended greater use of social media for spreading Hindi content and encouraging employees who actively work in Hindi.

The event was attended by Secretary DST, Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Secretary DBT, Dr Rajesh S Gokhale, CEO ANRF, Dr. Shivkumar Kalyanaraman, and other senior officials from department of science and department of biotechnology.
