In his speech, he put emphasis on enriching Hindi vocabulary and said that there is a need to assimilate technical words from other languages in the Hindi vocabulary. He further focused on the fact that Hindi does not always need to be spoken with big or formal words, people can use informal words and they will be effective in the same way.
Talking about the role of Hindi in NEP 2020, Dr. said that due to the non-availability of the curriculum in local languages, children studying in rural government schools are not able to get higher education. He further emphasised the fact that we have an inferiority complex about speaking Hindi and we think that speaking in Hindi will undermine us.
Challenges faced by Hindi Language
Speaking about the importance of Hindi and the hurdles this language has faced, Vice Chancellor of DU Professor Yogesh Singh in his presidential address said that Hindi is the language of love and personal touch. It is the language of our mind. Hindi is a popular, easy, and simple language, let it be like that. He further said that Hindi has never received government support, in spite of this, the language is continuously moving forward and flourishing.
Professor Yogesh Singh said that the language of government work was not Hindi in the British era and it is still not so even after independence. He also appreciates the cooperation of the South Indian people to make Hindi the national language in the constitution even though it didn’t get enough support from the leaders of North India.
