Aizawl, September 2026:Chief Minister Shri Lalduhoma today attended the Hindi Diwas celebration organised by the Mizoram Hindi Prachar Sabha at Dawrpui Multipurpose Hall. School Education Minister Dr. Vanlalthlana was the Guest of Honour.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that learning Hindi was increasingly important, particularly in view of the growing promotion and use of Hindi by the Union Government. However, he stressed that learning Hindi should not mean imitating another culture or losing one’s own identity.
“We should learn Hindi while preserving our own culture. We should speak Hindi and enjoy Hindi songs, but without losing our identity,” he said, adding that neglecting the Mizo language and culture could gradually weaken the community’s identity.
He urged the younger generation not to neglect Hindi, noting that proficiency in the language was increasingly important for communication and employment opportunities.
The Chief Minister also recalled his efforts as an MP to promote Hindi education in Mizoram. As a result, recognition for Matric and Intermediate examinations in Hindi was granted in Mizoram in 1988, followed by recognition for the BA examination in 2000.
The programme was chaired by Pu Lalchungnunga, Vice President of the Mizoram Hindi Prachar Sabha. Rev. R.K. Lalawmpuia led the devotion, while Pu R.B. Lalmalsawma, Chairman of the Sabha, delivered a speech.
Certificates and recognition were presented to newly awarded Hindi Ph.D. holders and Traffic Police personnel who completed the Spoken Hindi Course. Students also presented songs and dances during the programme.
