Q. When is the ‘Bharatiya Bhasha Divas’ to be observed in India?
Answer:
December 11
Notes: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has instructed all higher educational institutions to observe a ‘Bharatiya Bhasha Divas’ on December 11 every year.
The Day aims to celebrate language harmony and promote Indian languages. The move came after recommendations of a committee constituted by the Ministry of Education last year to emphasise the importance of Indian languages.
