The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed the Delhi University to ensure availability of Hindi textbooks to its students pursuing different courses in the language.
A Division Bench comprising Justice M.K. Sharma and Justice P.K. Bhasin passed the order on a public interest litigation by non-government organisation PUCL alleging that the Hindi medium students in the University were suffering due to non-availability of textbooks in Hindi and shortage of teachers.
The Bench directed the Centre for Directorate of Implementation of Hindi Medium to coordinate with the Heads of Departments of different courses in the University to ensure the availability of Hindi textbooks.
The Bench further directed the University to take necessary steps, if need be, for translation of English textbooks of different courses into Hindi.
The Court has been hearing the PIL for the past one year accusing the University of not taking necessary steps to make available Hindi textbooks to its around 68,000 Hindi medium students.
