आज, दिनांक 30 जून, 2026 को संस्थान में हिन्दी कार्यशाला का आयोजन किया गया, जिसमें आकाशवाणी, जोधपुर के कार्यक्रम अधिशासी श्री संजय व्यास को मुख्य वक्ता के रूप में आमंत्रित किया गया।

इस अवसर पर निदेशक महोदय ने अपने संबोधन में कहा कि जब हमारी सोच हिन्दी में होती है, तो हिन्दी में लिखने से हमारे विचार अधिक सहज, स्पष्ट और प्रभावी ढंग से अभिव्यक्त होते हैं। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि उत्कृष्टता की ओर अग्रसर होने के लिए हमें अपनी अच्छी परंपराओं और श्रेष्ठ अभ्यासों को कभी नहीं छोड़ना चाहिए।

अपने व्याख्यान में श्री संजय व्यास ने कहा कि नई पीढ़ी से समाज और विश्व को अनेक अपेक्षाएँ हैं। उन्होंने युवाओं से हिन्दी भाषा के प्रति अधिक रुचि विकसित करने, शुद्ध एवं प्रभावशाली हिन्दी बोलने तथा भाषा की बारीकियों को समझने और आत्मसात करने का आग्रह किया।
