Promoting Hindi

Throwing light on the importance of the languages spoken in the country, VC Prof V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai has stressed on the promotion and restoration of Hindi and other Indian languages.

“IGNOU believes in conserving Indian languages. Keeping in mind the government policies about the conservation of Indian languages, we have ensured that most of our courses are published in Hindi as well,” Prof Pillai said in the forthcoming in-house Hindi publication ‘Deepshikha’.

“We have set a benchmark for others to follow. This has been possible only because there has been a sudden spurt in the number of programmes offered by the University,” Prof Pillai added.
