India Gives $1 Million To Promote Hindi At UN

NEW YORK, NY (ANI) – India has given $1 million to the United Nations as part of an initiative aimed at promoting the usage of the Hindi language within the global organization. Ruchira Kamboj, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, presented a cheque to Melissa Fleming, Under Secretary General of the United Nations Department of Global Communications, to support the expansion of Hindi language usage at the UN.

The Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations expressed their enthusiasm for this investment in linguistic inclusivity through a tweet stating, “With the Hindi@UN project, we are breaking barriers & enhancing public outreach.”

Kamboj, in a separate tweet, emphasized that this contribution marks a step towards fostering inclusive dialogue and understanding.
