Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Vishwas remarked:
“Hindi is not merely a language; it is the living emotion of our culture, carrying within it the fragrance of our villages, the dreams of our youth, and the wisdom of our elders. Just as POWERGRID carries energy across the nation, Hindi carries the essence of unity, belonging, and cultural pride across India. I congratulate POWERGRID for honoring this priceless heritage.”
Further he added:
“The Hindi language is a bridge between the past and the future. Just as POWERGRID links every corner of Bharat through electricity, it is Hindi that connects hearts through tradition, values, and ideas.”
Alongside Dr. Vishwas, eminent poets Shri Ekagra Sharma, Shri Dinesh Bawra, Ms. Pallavi Mishra, and Shri Vinod Pandey also presented powerful verses that highlighted Hindi not just as a medium of expression, but as a binding force of India’s cultural identity.
