Delhi
Introduction
Delhi Centre was established in the year 1970. First of all, intensive Hindi teaching programmes were started for central officers and employees for the Official Language Implementation Scheme and Hindi teaching-training programmes were started for foreigners under the promotion of Hindi abroad. Due to excess workload, the scholarship based scheme of teaching-training programme for foreigners was shifted to Agra Headquarters in the year 1991.
At present, under the self-financing scheme, Hindi courses for foreigners, evening Post M.A. Diploma in Applied Hindi Linguistics, Post M.A. Diploma in Translation Theory and Practice and Post M.A. in Mass Communication and Journalism courses are conducted at the Delhi Centre. 12-day refresher courses for school and college level Hindi teachers of the states of Punjab, Jammu-Kashmir, Leh-Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh (tribal area) are also organised by the Delhi Centre.
Establishment
In 1970, the Institute established a campus in Delhi, which was later recognized as Delhi Centre. In 1969, a national seminar of linguists was held in the Ministry of Education, in which it was proposed that a three-month intensive Hindi teaching program should be started especially for the senior-most officers of the Government of India, because senior officers are unable to leave their work and attend the classes of the Hindi-teaching scheme. In this context, the Ministry asked the Institute to submit a plan for an intensive Hindi teaching course of three months' duration to fulfill this objective and make necessary arrangements for the training of senior officers in Delhi.
