A group of participants from the Communication and Information Technology world, gave a call at the world Hindi meet here on Saturday to ensure that the Hindi language was written in the Devnagri script only, not in the Roman script.

Presiding over a parallel session of 'Hindi in Communication and Information and Technology', poet Ashok Chakradhar said the need of the hour is not to curse the English language but to promote the Hindi language. The debate over 'Lipi' (script) has been on since ages.

Chakradhar said to promote the Hindi language through computers, a Hindi software should be made available.
