Hindi

The study of Hindi Language and literature became an important and integral part of the Vidya-Bhavana, the centre of higher learning, Visva-Bharati in 1938. Now the Department of Hindi is under Bhasha-Bhavana. The Programme of Hindi studies was drawn up under the able guidance of Pt. Hazariprasad Dwivedi. The foundation of Hindi-Bhavana was laid by C.F. Andrews and Kshitimohan Sen and the tireless endeavor of Banarasidas Chaturvedi on 31st January, 1939. The study of medieval Hindi literature and saint literature were of great interest to Poet Rabindranath Tagore. Kshitimohan Sen, himself a veteran scholar of the saint lore lent his active effort to this end. At present this Department of learning is carrying on research on Modern and medieval literature, Comparative literature and Rabindra literature in Hindi Translation, besides under Graduate and post Graduate studies in Hindi Literature and functional Hindi as well.
