Hindi Diwas is often celebrated at Hindu Girls College. This year it was held on the 5th of May 2017. It has been a tradition to celebrate Hindi Diwas at school and our main objective is to promote Hindi language and encouraging students to learn Hindi up to HSC classes. Officially, Hindi Diwas is celebrated on the 10th of January. However, in Mauritius, each institution celebrates this day at its own convenience.

A series of activities were carried out for this occasion at Hindu Girls College where both our pupils and students from other colleges participated. For example: Poem recitation, storytelling, elocution contest, traditional songs, drama and so on.

This year the Hindi Department has organised an elocution contest at Plaines Wilhelm’s level where 8 colleges were selected namely: St Joseph College, Royal College of Curepipe, Mauritius College, Presidency College and Mahatma Gandhi-SSS.  Satyaveer Koonjah of Royal College-Curepipe won the first prize for the Elocution Contest for his outstanding performance.

A special programme was presented by the students and was based on: Kaavyarass (based on Hindi Literature texts), traditional songs, vishwa hindi samachar and so on.

Talk by Mrs S Hawoldar, Resource Person, who was called for an interactive session with students on values.

Presentation carried out by students.
