Rastrabhasha Prachar Samiti

Seeing the great diversity of our country with so many different languages, there was need for one language, which would be simple, widely spoken and used for communication by the majority of the population. To address this objective, a meeting was conveyed on 4th July 1936 at Sevagram at Mahatma Gandhi's residence, which subsequently led to the constituting of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti in Wardha. With the motto of one national language and one nation, Gandhi Ji laid the foundation of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Sarniti. To convert this dream into reality, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Rajarshi Purushottam Das Tandon, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Acharya Narendra Dev, Acharya Kaka Kalekar, Seth Jamnalal Bajaj, Chakravarty Rajagopalchari, Pt. Makhanlal Chaturvedi, Baba Raghav Das and Shri Viyogi Hari - the like-minded freedom fighters, became the founding and poll bearing members.
