Hindi Diwas or National Hindi Day is celebrated every year on 14 September.

Apart from Hindi Day, World Hindi Day is celebrated every year on 10 January. The day is celebrated to commemorate the anniversary of the first World Hindi Conference held at Nagpur on January 10, 1975, in which 122 delegates from 30 countries participated. The aim of the conference was to promote Hindi language across the world. World Hindi Day was first celebrated in 2006 by former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh with the aim of promoting Hindi language across the world.

Hindi gets its name from the Persian word Hind, which means 'Land of the Indus River'. In the early 11th century, Turkish invaders named the language of the region as Hindi, i.e., 'the language of the land of the Indus River'. While it is the official language of India, English is the second official language. Hindi is also spoken in some countries outside India, such as Mauritius, Fiji, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Nepal. Hindi emerged in its present form through various stages during which it was known by other names.
