O.M. No. 13034/25/95- O.L. (P&C), dated 24.4.1995
Subject:— Assistance by Members of Central Secretariat Official Language Service to Other Officers/Officials in their
Work in Rajbhasha Hindi.
The implementation of Official Language related provisions of the Constitution of India, Official Languages Act,
1963, Official Language Rules, 1976 and orders issued thereunder from time to time is of utmost importance. According to
Official Language Policy, substantial amount of work in Union Government Offices is required to be transacted only in Hindi
and quite a bit bilingually (in Hindi and English). For work requiring disposal bilingually, papers are often prepared first in
English and are subsequently translated in Hindi. Under the influence of translated Hindi, the language in papers originally
written in Hindi at times lack ease and spontanity. Yet, it is important that Hindi in Official use is kept simple and natural and
easy to read and understand.
2. Sufficient number of officers/officials of Central Secretariat Official Langauge Service have been posted in Ministries/
Departments and attached offices. Similarly, Hindi Officers and Translators, as needed are also available in Subordinate
Offices, Public Sector Banks and Govt. Corporations/Autonomous bodies. All these officers/officials have capacity to help
in bringing about ease of working in Hindi without neglecting their normal work disposal and responsibilities of increasing
the use of Hindi in official work quantitatively. On the other hand, a sufficient number of employees in organisations/Offices
are unable to take initiative to commence their work in Hindi either due to some hesitation or minor difficulties that they have
with Hindi Language. The members of Central Secretariat Official Language Service can play an important role in helping
these employees to overcome their hesitation, in resolving their Hindi related difficulties and in encouraging them to do
official work in Hindi. Acting thus, if all Hindi officers and Translators become a source of help for those inquisitive and
keen towards Hindi, the use of Hindi in official work will expand and Hindi used in official work will also become natural and
easy. The environment for doing official work originally in Hindi will also improve.
3.Therefore, it is suggested to all Ministries/Departments that for purposes mentioned above, they should consider
utilising services of officers/officials of Rajbhasha Service and issue necessary orders appropriate to their requirements/
circumstances. These officers can perhaps provide assistance to others during pre-determined hours everyday or thrice a
week. Also, the Hindi Officers can themselves take initiative, as convenient, to lend help and instructions related to use of
Hindi Language to those employees who are keen on using Hindi in their official work. The aim of arrangements made in this
behalf should be to establish informal relationship between Hindi Officers/Translators and the other employees so that
they are able to get help and cooperation for their work in Hindi. It is also requested that such arrangements be set up in all
attached and subordinate orginisations.
4. Action taken in this behalf be kindly conveyed to this Department.
