“Indian art, literature, and culture, along with the Hindi language, have achieved new heights of popularity worldwide. The number of people learning Hindi to understand Indian art, literature, culture, and historical heritage has significantly increased abroad. Similarly, there is a growing demand for learning Hindi in non-Hindi speaking states of India, especially in the north-eastern and southern states. The National Education Policy of the Government of India emphasizes language learning as a skill. It is heartening to see Hindi being established globally as a language of employment. The ‘Vishwarang’ festival, dedicated to literature, art, and culture on a global level, has prepared a new global platform for the preservation and promotion of Hindi, Indian languages, and local dialects in its six editions.”
