On September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly adopted Hindi as the official language, and since then, this day has been celebrated as Hindi Diwas. Article 351 of the Indian Constitution mandates the Union to promote the spread of Hindi and develop it as a medium of expression for India's composite culture. Reflecting this constitutional vision, the Department of Official Language under the Home Ministry organizes Hindi Diwas and All India Official Language Conferences annually.
