Essay Writing Competition Organized on International Mother Language Day
An essay writing competition was organized at Government National College, Sirsa, under the joint auspices of the Hindi Subject Council and Punjabi Subject Council, under the direction of Acting Principal Dr. Anita Madia. College Public Relations Officer Prof. Ramesh Soni reported that college students participated enthusiastically in the competition. Dr. Meenu Rani, Prof. Amandeep Kaur, and Dr. Priyanka Rani served as judges for the essay writing competition. Bindu secured first place, Ishanjot Kaur second, Ramandeep third, and Muskan fourth.
Hindi Department Head Dr. Karmajit Kaur highlighted the importance of Mother Language Day to students, stating that social and linguistic identity connects us to nationalism and inspires patriotism. The first language a person learns after birth is called their mother tongue. A mother tongue allows one to express their feelings easily. Addressing the students, Dr. Anita Madia said that the National Education Policy gives a special place to the mother tongue in the education system. According to this policy, children's primary education should be in their mother tongue or local language. This improves their understanding and encourages them to show greater interest in learning. Studying in the mother tongue not only deepens knowledge but also preserves the culture and heritage of the language. Education in the mother tongue gives children confidence and freedom of expression. It helps promote social harmony and national unity. The new education policy recognizes the mother tongue as the foundation of education and calls for its development and strengthening. Dr. Deepawali and Dr. Lakhveer Singh thanked everyone. Finally, Principal Dr. Anita Madia honored the students with certificates.
