Prof Chandan Medatwal from Management Area recited her poem:

हिंदी दिवस पर विशेष

आधुनिक एवं पाश्चात्य संस्कृति की ओट में,

हिंदी का भी मान हम रख लें,

थोड़ा सा ही सही,

कुछ वार्तालाप शुद्ध हिंदी में भी कर लें।

मैंने मान लिया अंग्रेजी को पढ़ा लिखा,

हिंदीभाषी अनपढ़ भी नहीं,

ये भी थोड़ा ध्यान हम कर लें।

इस हिंदी ने शब्दों को सँवारा है,

वर्तनी, बिंदु जैसे अलंकरण से,

प्रत्येक शब्द एवं वाक्यों को निखारा है।

उर्दू,अरबी,इटली,अंग्रेजी जो भी हो,

हिंदुस्तानी हृदय के भावों ने

भावनाओं को सदैव, हिंदी में पुकारा है।

~ डाॅ. चन्दन ~
