Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Pradeed Kumar said Hindi language facilitated national integration and asserted that it was being implemented strictly in all Central government offices in the city.
The awardees included Vijayawada Railway Division Raj Bhasha officer S. Chiranjeevi and All India Radio Station Director M. Krishna Kumari for their efforts in implementing the language in the respective departments.
