17/01/2025
The Department of Hindi at the Central University of Odisha (CUO), in collaboration with the Bharatiya Bhasha Samiti (Ministry of Education, Government of India) and Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal, is organizing a two-day national seminar titled ‘Bharatiya Bhashaon Ki Samasikata’ (Composition of Indian Languages) on 09 – 10 January 2025, in its campus at Sunabeda.
Highlighting the significance of the event, CUO Vice-Chancellor Prof. Chakradhar Tripathi stated, “The Indian Knowledge Traditions are deeply rooted in the diverse languages of the country, which change every few miles. The enduring strength of Bharat’s traditional culture lies in its linguistic foundations. Indian languages are also the genesis of many foreign languages. With the National Education Policy emphasizing education in mother tongues and fostering creativity, it is imperative to explore the composition and dynamics of our linguistic diversity. This seminar aims to address these crucial aspects.”
The seminar will bring together renowned literary and academic figures, including Padmashri Haladhar Nag, Prof. Nandini Sahoo, Prof. R.S. Sarraju, and Dr. Satya Narayan Panda, among others.
Established in 2009 by an Act of Parliament, the Central University of Odisha is the state’s first central university. Nestled in the picturesque Koraput valley, the university currently hosts 20 departments offering a range of undergraduate, postgraduate, integrated, and research programs. The Department of Hindi, established in 2015, is actively involved in translating literary works from various Indian languages into Hindi.
