HSVP to use Hindi in letters to allottees
Gurugram : The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), Gurugram, has issued directions to its employees that communication with plot allottees, landowners and other stakeholders should be majorly conducted in Hindi so people who are less conversant in English don’t face problems.

This follows directions from HSVP headquarters in Chandigarh to all administrators in state to promote Hindi as language of communication, as many in rural areas face problems while submitting documents or interpreting letters.

Jitender Yadav, administrator, Gurugram, said officials in estate office I and II and Rewari have been asked to promote the use of Hindi for easier exchange of information. “We had received directions from Chandigarh in which it was mentioned that people often faced trouble in interpreting letters written in English. So we have decided to push the use of Hindi and bring more of it in official usage,” he said, adding they would gradually increase Hindi in official communication.

Allottees welcomed the decision. “A large number of farmers find it difficult to read directions by the authority but once these come in Hindi, it would be easier for them to understand the same,” said Dilip Yadav, an HSVP allottee. htc
