C] Use of Official Language
18.10 The Official Language section is responsible for translation of the monthly newsletter,
annual report and budget documents of the Commission into Hindi. The Section also translated
about 2000 complaints/reports received in Hindi and other regional languages, from different
States, to English. A bilingual English-Hindi Glossary pertaining to Human Rights terms was
published and released during this period. Compilation of an Hindi-English Glossary of Human
Rights terms was undertaken as it was felt that most literature on Human Rights is in English and
bringing out a glossary would address the felt need for authentic Hindi equivalents of human
rights terms. This would be of great help to all those who are engaged in the Human rights field.
The work of preparation of Hindi-English Glossary pertaining to Human Rights is under process.
To create awareness among the masses about the issues related to human rights a Hindi Journal
“Nai Dishayain” was published.

in Hindi. Two other publications relating to Human Rights norms were also translated in Hindi
