Progress in use of Rajbhasha Hindi in CCRT
In compliance with the Rajbhasha Policy, the Centre for Cultural Resources and Training has taken special steps to achieve the goal. Most of the work in CCRT is done bilingually. Training, Publication, Cultural Talent Search Scholarship Scheme, Accounts and Production Units work bilingually. All forms, notes, reports, guidance books and educational material are bilingual.

A lecture is organized on the subject ‘Constitutional status and importance of Rajbhasha Hindi’ in every CCRT Training Program for teachers participating from different parts of the country.
