Srinagar, Sep 19: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday called on the youngsters to understand the importance of languages in our country.
Addressing the inaugural session of national seminar’Bhartiya Bhashaon Mein Ekaatmata’ at NIT here, LG Sinha, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, “No country in the world can match the diversity in languages we have. Its our duty to save the Hindi language under Hindi Pakhwada initiative.”
“Youngsters need to understand the importance of languages in our country,” tge LG said adding NIT students and professors have to make sure to get rid of the colonial mind set and embrace our languages.
He said, “Today, we feel a strong need to inspire the country with an ideology of development. India or Developed India, I think, is not just a slogan, it’s an ideology, a movement. Our common goal should be that by the time we celebrate the centenary of our independence in 2047, we should see India as a united nation.”
“In this movement, there can be different cultural foundations, people speaking different languages, but I would especially like to say to the students of the National Institute of Technology, where this program is taking place, that you will have to make a very important contribution. To create a resurgent India, you will have to strive to live your life to the fullest and move forward to completely eliminate every vestige of slavery and build a glorious India.”
The LG Sinha said, “We need to know the needs of society, understand them, live for them, and be prepared to sacrifice everything for our goal. In this campaign, we will have to always keep in mind that this is a prophecy written on stone, which will certainly come true. The wheel of time has turned, and that India, which once had a larger share in world GDP than all the countries of America and Europe combined, and which gave the world a new system of knowledge through mathematics and science, that India is once again moving forward to regain its old glory.”
“Today, the whole world is looking towards India with great expectations for the future. It depends on how actively our youth can play a role in shaping policies and guiding India, not just India but the world, through their abilities, innovations, and research. I would also like to mention in today’s program that our policymakers should always focus on inclusive development,”LG Sinha said. (KNO)
