Hindi Diwas

Hindi Diwas, celebrated on 14th September, an important day to propagate Hindi language in this world
and encourage people to feel proud in speaking this language. Hindi language is connected with
various rituals, cultural heritage and values that provide the glimpse of Indian culture. Thus, it is
important to dedicate a day to this language that plays a vital role in showing true values and tradition
of India to rest of the world. Secondary students of Witty International School, Pawan Baug celebrated
‘Hindi Diwas’ with much fanfare and enthusiasm. The day started with a mass assembly presented by
Grade IGCSE-1 where the students worshipped almighty with Hindi Prayer and thought for the day
followed by a Nukkad Natak on Indian Education System.

The School believes that each student has some hidden talent which needs to be nurtured properly and
must get a platform to showcase the multi dimensional talents. As a part of celebrating ‘Hindi Diwas’,
the students presented a vibrant cultural programme depicting the various realms of Hindi literature.

The school had invited Mrs. Supriya Shukla, a famous actress and writer who graced the occasion as
the chief guest to mark the importance of this day along with the students. The program commenced
with a spectacular UV act ‘Govind Bolo Hari Gopal Bolo’ which was a representation of Dashavatara,
i.e the ten avtars of Vishnu. ‘Kavita Suman’ provided a rendition of poems such as Moturam, Padosi,
Muhavare etc. Each poem symbolised humour, exam fever etc.

Dhara ki kahani Nukkad ki jubani, a street play highlighted the importance of planting trees and
adverse effects of deforestation. The play achieved its desired motto of imparting awareness in
audience about the need to save environment pollution. The play ended with a pledge of conserving
environment which imparted a great social message to the audience.

The programme proceeded forward with a qawalli and mastani jugalbandi ‘Kabir Banam Kalyug’ was
an innovative fusion of the lyrics of Dohas and famous Bollywood songs. The audience truly rejoiced to
the beats of the rhythmic songs. A Hindi program can never be complete unless Hindi Literature is aptly
presented. ‘Ashadh ka ek din’, a mature play on the life of Kalidasa brought out the message that one
should shoulder their responsibilities at all times keeping aside their wants and wishes.

In contrast to the serious play, a rib tickling comedy act, Ye remote kiska hai?’ showcased the
hilarious fight between husband and wife for the remote control of TV which is a routine story of each
house. The play also shows sarcasm on the News channels and the TV anchors that tend to make a
mountain out of a molehill.

We a a nation strongly enforce on Women Empowerment to make them independent in all aspects from
mind, thought, rights, decisions, etc by leaving all the social and family limitations. ‘Naari ke roop
anek’, a musical play highlighted the achievements of certain women like Razia Sultan, Neerja Banot,
Mithali Raj,Poorna etc who have achieved name and fame by setting up records by their unmatched
incredible work. It was inspiring for every woman to know that today woman has earned name in all the
fields and today’s independent woman is leaving no stone unturned to prove herself capable of doing
everything what a man can do. The show ended with a fantabulous Grand Finale, ‘Thirakte Kadam’
where each student present felt proud to be a part of such a culture which possesses a language as
great as Hindi. *
Mrs Supriya Shukla aptly said, “Celebration of this special day will definitely promote Hindi language
and will be best transferred to next generation. Moreover, people should feel proud of their national
language and this is the main motive of this special day celebration. Therefore, celebration of Hindi
Diwas all across India will definitely enhance the glory and progress of Hindi and new generation will
feel the importance of their mother language in their overall development.”

“To ensure that Hindi becomes a means of expression, we have to work to bring that pride back in the
next generation. When confidence and verve return to Hindi prose, that’s when the language will
endure. When the youth feels that Hindi is versatile enough for their 21st century sensibilities, that’s
when it will grow. It is our responsibility to help our children move ahead into the future and carry their
greatest heritage, the language of Hindi, with them," remarked the Principal, Mr Bijo Kurian. He also
appreciated the efforts of the Hindi Department and the participating students.

The students were also advised to revere Hindi language, enrich Hindi literature and strive to bring
‘Hindi’ to the pedestal where the whole world acknowledges its magnitude.
