Agartala, Feb 12

The Department of Official Language under the Ministry of Home Affairs will organise a Joint Regional Official Language Conference -- the Akhil Bharatiya Rajbhasha Sammelan -- for the eastern, northeastern and northern regions in a grand manner in Tripura's capital Agartala on February 20, officials said on Thursday.

A senior official said that the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, along with a host of dignitaries, will attend the conference, which will be held at the International Indoor Exhibition Centre at Hapania on the outskirts of Agartala.

Officials from various Central government offices, public sector undertakings, banks, Town Official Language Implementation Committees (TOLICs) and other organisations are expected to participate in the conference.

To make the event more attractive and meaningful, an exhibition showcasing outstanding work carried out by different organisations in the field of Official Language implementation has also been planned, the official added.

All participating organisations have been requested to submit details of any special innovations or noteworthy initiatives undertaken by them in the field of Official Language, which can be displayed at their respective stalls during the exhibition.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, while speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event, also confirmed the participation of Union Home Minister Shah in the Akhil Bharatiya Rajbhasha Sammelan.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sources said that during his visit to Tripura, the Union Home Minister is also likely to hold a few meetings with the Chief Minister Saha and other senior BJP leaders to discuss various political and organisational matters.

Amid ongoing differences between the BJP and its ally, the Tipra Motha Party (TMP), Union Home Minister Shah is also likely to hold meetings with TMP leaders, including party supremo Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma, the sources added.

Ahead of the crucial elections to the 30-member Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), the BJP, TMP and other political parties have intensified preparations for the polls, which are expected to be held in March-April.

Good to see such a high-level conference in Agartala. It brings national focus to our state. Hope the exhibition also highlights how local languages and Hindi can coexist for administrative efficiency. Jai Hind!

The political meetings mentioned are the real story here. With TTAADC elections coming, HM's visit is clearly strategic. Hope the development agenda isn't lost in the political calculations.

Interesting to see the focus on "special innovations" in language implementation. In a digital age, how are we using tech to make official language accessible? That should be the core discussion.

As someone who works in a PSU, these conferences are useful for networking and understanding new directives. But the real test is implementation at the ground level in states like Tripura.

Hope the conference addresses the practical challenges. For many in the Northeast, English or their mother tongue is the first language. Pushing Hindi too hard can create resentment. Balance is key.
