Hindi Diwas observed in classes 6-10
"A country that does not have the pride of its language and literature cannot be advanced." Dr Rajendra Prasad
Hindi Diwas is celebrated with great enthusiasm across India to honour and recognise the significance of the Hindi language. This day serves as a reminder of our linguistic diversity and the need for a unifying language in a nation that speaks many languages and dialects. It is celebrated every year on September 14 to commemorate the adoption of Hindi as one of the official languages of the Republic of India on September 14, 1949.
To promote the importance of the Hindi language and its rich literary heritage, our School organised engaging and educational activities for the students of classes 5 to 10. The objective was to create awareness about the significance of Hindi in our cultural and national identity and to foster love and respect for the language through creative expression.
On the occasion, students enthusiastically wrote self-composed slogans and inspiring lines in Hindi about celebrated Hindi authors. A short discussion was held where students explained the values underlying their self composed slogans and drawings. This led to a reflection on the importance of Hindi in daily life.
Some children recited Rahim ke dohe in class, highlighting their beauty and relevance. These activities together not only showcased the students' creativity but also strengthened their respect and love for the language. Through colourful and creative posters, the children beautifully expressed the importance of Hindi, its rich heritage, and its role in uniting the nation. Their artistic ideas and thoughtful messages reflected both creativity and awareness.
The teachers encouraged the students to value and preserve the Hindi language while appreciating the sincere efforts made by the students. The aim was to promote the use of Hindi in our daily lives, fostering a sense of national pride and unity.
More than just a language, Hindi plays a key role in preserving ancient texts, traditions, and wisdom. It acts as a bridge between the past and the present, ensuring that the timeless knowledge contained in our scriptures and classics is accessible to today's generations.
Furthermore, Hindi adapts seamlessly to the demands of the modern world, incorporating new words and concepts while staying rooted in its rich heritage. It thrives in literature, art, cinema, and everyday communication, showcasing its versatility.
In essence, this special celebrates our cultural and linguistic heritage, emphasising the importance of preserving and encouraging future generations to use Hindi. It is a day when we come together to cherish the language that binds us as a nation and carries the weight of our history and culture, making it an integral part of our identity.
