As you are aware, the National Education Policy 2020 emphasizes promoting activities for students where they can learn about the unity of most of the major Indian languages, starting with their common phonetic scripts, their common grammatical structures, their origins, and sources of vocabulary from Sanskrit and other classical languages, as well as their rich inter-influences and differences.
To catalyze this enthusiasm, Bharatiya Bhasha Samiti, Ministry of Education, Govt. of India has proposed to observe December 11 as Bharatiya Bhasha Diwas (Bharatiya Bhasha Utsav) on the occasion of Janm Jayanti of great Tamil poet Subramania Bharati.

All the Higher Educational Institutions and their affiliated colleges and institutions are requested to promote Indian Languages and celebrate the Bharatiya Bhasha Diwas (Bharatiya Bhasha Utsav) on December 11 every year in a befitting manner.
