Use of simple language will bridge gap between administration and people: CM
Bhopal. Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Hindi’s simple vocabulary in governance bridges gap between administration and people. He said that Hindi is a powerful medium to have dialogue with people to extend benefits to them easily. The Chief Minister was chairing session “Hindi in Governance” at 10th Vishwa Hindi Sammelan here today.
