Hindi Diwas programmes ran across Varanasi’s higher-education campuses on Monday, 14 September 2026, with Banaras Hindu University, Sampurnanand Sanskrit University and Kashi Vidyapith among the venues that marked the day. At BHU’s central office, Registrar Rajan Srivastava read a message from Union Education Minister Prahlad Joshi urging wider use of Hindi as a natural medium of daily work and deeper presence in education, research, innovation and digital technology.
Hindi Officer Dr Shiv Kumar Tripathi read the message of Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ajit Kumar Chaturvedi. Dr Ramesh Singh conducted the programme and offered the vote of thanks. The central-office reading set the tone for campus events that followed the same calendar day without collapsing into a single mega-function.
BHU’s Faculty of Education opened a three-day Hindi Diwas Samaroh. At the Women’s College (MMV), a programme featured chief guest Prof. Awadhesh Pradhan speaking on Hindi’s literary tradition.
Sampurnanand Sanskrit University’s Yoga Sadhana Centre hosted a special lecture titled ‘Swarajya, Swabodh and the Role of Indian Languages’ and released the book Shri Swaminarayan Darshan Sarasangrah by Swami Madhavpriya Das of Swaminarayan Gurukul University Pratishthanam, Gujarat. Named professors attended the Sanskrit University session.
UP College held a seminar under the theme ‘Hindi Hai Pehchan Hamari’ with poet Shivkumar Parag, Principal Prof. Dharmendra Kumar Singh and Dr Sadanand Singh on the dais. At Uday Pratap Inter College, Principal Dr Ramesh Pratap Singh spoke on Hindi’s necessity in the day’s observance. Campus Hindi Diwas in Kashi thus stretched from central university offices to college seminar rooms in one Monday sweep.
Joshi’s message themes — daily work medium, education, research, innovation, digital technology — give the policy vocabulary campuses used. Chaturvedi’s message, read by the Hindi Officer, supplied the vice-chancellor’s institutional line.
A book release inside a Sanskrit University Hindi Diwas lecture ties language observance to a printed text rather than only speeches. UP College’s ‘Hindi Hai Pehchan Hamari’ title keeps the college seminar in the same Monday register with a poet on the programme.
Readers who want only the 14 September campus stamp will find it in the registrar reading, the Education Faculty’s three-day open, the Women’s College session, the Sanskrit University lecture and book release, and the UP College and Uday Pratap observances.
For students and staff who moved between these halls on Monday, the practical record is straightforward: Hindi Diwas was marked with messages, a book release, seminars and the start of a three-day faculty samaroh.
