Central Education Department orders research centre in Kolkata to write letters in Hindi

Controversy over the central government's order to write a letter in Hindi in the face of the election. All the letters of the central body should be written in Hindi. Such instructions have reached the Indian Association for Cultivation of Science, one of the best science research centres in the country.

The controversy erupted after the guidelines were reached on Tuesday (March 23). The question arises as to why an institution in Kolkata has to write a letter in Hindi.

On Tuesday, a guideline from the Union Ministry of Education reached the Indian Association for Cultivation of Science. The guideline mentions that all the letters of the organization have to be written in Hindi.

The research centre had received such a letter before. They have also been asked why that instruction is not being obeyed. The guidelines state that replies to letters written in Hindi must be made in Hindi. Employees must also write a service book in Hindi.

Since the Modi government came to power, several non-Hindi speaking states have spoken out against the imposition of Hindi against the Centre. 

Recently, the name of Baranagar and Dakshineswar stations were also written in Hindi. Controversy arose over that matter. However, the railway authority replaced the nameplate later.
