Subject:— Use of only bilingual electronic equipments in the Ministries/Departments of Central Government and their
attached and subordinate offices, Undertakings, Nationalised Banks, Corporations etc. and development of
bilingual software.
In Ministries/Departments of the Central Government and their attached and subordinate offices/undertakings/
banks etc. the computerisation is in progress. It has been observed that in many places such computer systems have been
installed as are of working only in English. In view of the increasing use of computers in these offices, the need for such
special efforts has been felt as may facilitate work in Hindi on these computers, so that the progress in use of Hindi may not
get retarded due to increasing computerisation. The Department of Official Language have issued orders to the Central
Government offices vide O.M. No. 12015/12/84-OL(TC) dated 30.5.1985 that in offices only bilingual (Hindi-English) electronic
equipment should be used. These orders were subsequently amplified vide O.M. dated 31.8.1987 of the Department of
Official Language (copy enclosed). Despite these orders it has been noticed that the preference for using computers and
other electronic equipments has not yet come about. It has also been observed that due to computerisation, the disposal of
work in Hindi has not shown desired progress.
2. To ensure the compliance of Official Language policy and to acquire capacity to work in Hindi on electronic
equipments, it is necessary that a time-bound programme is chalked out and its implementation ensured. With a view to
enable the offices to do their work in Devanagari on computers, Gist Card/Gist terminal or bilingual software can be used.
In many offices/departments computers are put to sufficient use for specific applications. These major organisations/
offices like Banks, Railways, Airlines, Defence organisations etc. where computers are used on a large scale can take action
for developing bilingual (Hindi-English) softwares as per their requirements.
3. In order to ensure that the work disposed in Hindi does not decrease as a consequence of computerisation, it is
necessary that whenever computerisation is taken up by Ministries/Departments of the Central Government and their
attached and subordinate offices, Undertakings, Nationalised Banks, Corporations etc. they must have the required software
developed in bilingual form (English-Hindi).
4. Ministry of Finance etc. are requested to bring these instructions to the notice of their attached and subordinate
offices and the undertakings owned or controlled by them and ensure their compliance. The action taken in this regard may
be intimated to this Department.
