In the Legislative Assembly, Hindi was approved as the official language on this day in 1949 by a single vote. Since 1953, the 14th of September has been observed as Hindi Diwas throughout India at the request of the Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha, who wanted to promote Hindi throughout the country. The Hindi language is highly valued not just in India but even internationally.
