NSS Unit of Kannada Sangha Pune’s Kaveri College of Arts, Science and Commerce celebrated Marathi Rajyabhasha Diwas on 27th, February 2022, with great pride and enthusiasm. On the occasion of Marathi Rajyabhasha Diwas, a webinar on the topic- “Importance of Marathi Language” by Prof. Vrushali Deodhar was organized on an online platform.
Prof.Deodhar spoke voraciously regarding marathi language, its origin, significance and efficiency. She mentioned that Marathi stands on 10th rank among the languages in the entire world. She also briefed the students that Marathi Bhasha Din is celebrated on February 27 every year. The day marks the birth anniversary of renowned Marathi poet Vishnu Vaman Shirwadkar, who was popularly known as ‘Kusumagraj’. Kusumagraj was an eminent Marathi poet, playwright, novelist, short story writer, and humanist. The day is celebrated to honor Marathi literature. The Marathi language contains some of the oldest literature of all modern Indo-Aryan languages. She also emphasized the fact that Marathi is truly a very accessorized, self-sufficient and beautiful language and one must possess immense pride and honor while using that language in day to day life. She also insisted that there is a need that today’s generation is taught to use this language appropriately as it’s being seen as getting polluted, infected and adulterated with the touch of modernism and lack of proper knowledge. She also threw light on the significance and need of indulging and practicing reading habits in order to enhance language skills in everyone.
Dr. Muckta Karmarkar- Vice Principal, Other Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff at Kaveri College, and students participated in large numbers and attended this session with great interest and enthusiasm. NSS PO Prof. Nilesh Nemade did the compering for the session as well as presented a vote of thanks.
