Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on Thursday said the new government will promote use of Hindi in all departments and public life.
He also said that promotion of Hindi language should not be seen as "undermining" other languages.
"I have taken a decision that we will give priority to the promotion of Hindi in all communications in various departments and public life because it is our official language," Rijiju told reporters here.
Asserting that the Centre will give due importance to all languages, he said, "We have to progress with our identity, culture, language and diversity. We have to move together. So, promotion of Hindi language should not be seen as undermining other languages."
Since Hindi is the national language, the government should promote it, he said, adding, "It does not mean that we are going to discourage the use of regional languages."
