In his lecture, Prof. Ramesh Kumar Pandey said that language is our consciousness and the basic concept of Indian culture is that possessing a deep understanding of language develops and enhances our personality. He said that Hindi is our official language and exhorted everyone to feel proud while communicating in Hindi.

Prof. Govind Prasad Sharma, Chairman, NBT, said that as long as the supremacy of English remains in our thoughts, Hindi will not be able to establish its dominance as the official language. For this, it is necessary that Hindi should be promoted as the language of research.
