Jammu, March 28:
In a significant move to strengthen the use of the Official Language within premier medical institutions, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Jammu successfully organized a comprehensive one-day Hindi workshop on Friday.

-
Mr. Sanjay Sharma (Member Secretary, Town Official Language Implementation Committee – TOLIC, Jammu)
During their addresses, the speakers emphasized that the Official Language Policy is not just a statutory requirement but a tool for better communication and transparency.
“Greater use of Hindi in government work doesn’t just fulfill a mandate; it improves the overall efficiency and reach of the administration,” noted the speakers during their interactive session.
Interactive Learning & Future Outlook
The workshop concluded with an intensive Q&A session where employees clarified technical doubts regarding official terminology and digital tools. The event is being hailed as a major milestone for AIIMS Jammu in its journey to integrate regional and national linguistic values into its world-class medical administration.
