The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has written to the External Affairs Ministry to promote the use of Hindi for official work in banks, public sector undertakings, embassies and other government offices located in foreign countries.
On August 30, the MHA asked the MEA to provide a list of all the government institutions in foreign countries and constitute an Official Language Implementation Committee that would oversee the progress of Hindi in official work.
This was one of the several steps taken by the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Government since 2014 to promote Hindi in government business.
