Eminent Hindi poets, writers and artists from India and across North America have participated in a convention to promote and connect Indian-American youths with the language.
The 16th International Hindi Association (IHA) Convention was held in Houstan from August 30 to September 1. The main theme of event was "Hindi evam Yuva varg" (Hindi and Youth Class).
Various seminars, workshops, cultural programmes and youth competitions were organised to draw Indian-American youths, connect them with Hindi language and excel their proficiency in it.
The convention concluded with "Hasya Kavi Sanmelan" that debated and discussed various issues related to Hindi language and Indian American diaspora.
There is a healthy number of Hindi speakers in the US and organisers believe annual programmes such as this will only enhance the popularity of Hindi in North America.
