Mizoram’s lone Padma Shree awardee in the field of Hindi teaching, C. Kamlova, held a meeting on Monday with the state governor, Hari Babu Kambhampati, to improve the current Hindi curriculum in the state.
During the meeting, Kamlova observed that Hindi learning can be extended to civil society organizations, self-help groups, and other entities in order to propagate the national language in Mizoram and the northeast.
“In this connection, he also informed the Governor that a proposal approved by the state government and forwarded to the NEC through Art & Culture is yet to be approved,” a government release said.
Kamlova, a pioneer of Hindi teaching in the state, was invited by the state governor to the Raj Bhavan in Aizawl, where they shared their views and discussed how Hindi can be promoted in the state with new vigor in Mizoram.
“He explained further that the proposal was conceptualized and prepared under the fund available with the NEC for promoting Hindi learning in the Northeast region and requested the Governor to pursue this proposal with the NEC,” the release further stated.
The governor asked Kamlova about the standard of Hindi learning at various stages in the schools in Mizoram.
“The governor also stressed the need and the potential benefits of enhancing the speaking skills of the youth of Mizoram in Hindi. He felt that the youths of Mizoram are talented and have the potential to secure lucrative jobs anywhere in India but they need to sharpen their Hindi speaking skill,” the release stated.
Governor Kambhampati also expressed that the Mizo youth are not against learning the Hindi Language, unlike some parts of India.
It may be noted that due to a 20-year-long insurgency, the people of Mizoram did not want to learn Hindi earlier, but things have changed now.
However, a shortage of Hindi teachers in the state impedes learning of the national language, especially in remote rural areas where a number of government schools are run by single teachers.
