General Manager of South Western Railway Pradeep Kumar Saxena said that it was the responsibility of every official and employee to ensure that the official language Hindi was implemented effectively in central government offices, government undertakings and banks.

Mr. Saxena subsequently reviewd the progress of implementation of Hindi in various departments of the zone and government agencies.

Latha, Deputy Director of Rajbhasha Department (Bengaluru) Vijay Kumar, Chief Workshop Manager of SWR Ajay Kumar, Rahul Khate of State Bank of Mysore, K.P. Shetty of Canara Bank, P.S.
