aware of the richness of our culture and how unique we are from each other.
However, in daily life, we are mostly surrounded by two languages, Hindi or English.
When we speak to someone in our immediate environment, we mostly use these two
languages to communicate. We completely forget that we come from different
backgrounds, and it is this difference that makes us unique. To celebrate these different
languages , which celebrates our diverse cultures, Manav Rachna dental college
celebrated the International Mother Language Day.
This day is celebrated worldwide on 21st February, to promote awareness of linguistic
and cultural diversity, and to promote multilingualism. It was declared as the
International Mother Language Day by UNESCO in 1999, and has been observed
