The Consulate General of India in Chicago, under the leadership of Consul General Somnath Ghosh, is excited to invite the Indian community to its Hindi Divas celebration on Saturday, September 14, 2024. The event will be held from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the Consulate’s office, located at 455 N. Cityfront Plaza Dr, Suite 850, NBC Tower.

Hindi Divas is an annual occasion dedicated to highlighting the significance of Hindi as one of India’s official languages. This year’s celebration will focus on increasing the popularity of Hindi, enhancing educational resources, and encouraging children from the Indian diaspora to connect with their linguistic heritage. The Consulate aims to strengthen ties to Indian culture, particularly among younger generations born outside of India.

The event will feature discussions on strategies to popularize Hindi within communities, with a special focus on educational initiatives and integrating Hindi into academic curricula. Prominent community leaders, educators, and cultural advocates will share their insights on fostering a deeper appreciation for Hindi within the diaspora.

Consul General Ghosh extends an invitation to all members of the Indian community in the Chicago metropolitan area to attend and engage in this significant celebration. The program will conclude with a lunch, providing an opportunity for networking and community interaction.

As Hindi continues to play a crucial role in connecting the global Indian diaspora with their roots, this event promises meaningful discussions on ensuring the language’s vitality for future generations.
