Section 18(9) in Important Directions Regarding Official Language Policy
(9)The officers of IAS and other all India services are imparted compulsory training in Hindi during their training in Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie so that they could make use of it in official work. However, most of the officers do not use Hindi in their official work after joining the service. As such officials/ employees working under them do not get the right message. Consequently, Hindi is not used in official work to the extent required. It is the Constitutional obligation of senior officials of Ministries/ Departments/ Offices /Undertakings to make increasing use of Hindi in their official work. This in turn will motivate the officials/ employees working under them, thereby giving impetus to the compliance of the Official Language Policy.
