Answer: Importance of Hindi has been felt throughout the country. In Government of India, an exclusive department works for the promotion of Hindi. And there is a Parliamentary Committee which is overseeing the promotion of Hindi in all departments. Two new trends have come: one leads to demand for good Hindi teacher and the second one is demand in infotainment. In the infotainment, there are number of Hindi channels and there is a great demand for news readers, script writers and translators.
