Department of Hindi

About the Department

The Department of Hindi came into existence in 2016 with the establishment of Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Motihari, Bihar. Initially, the undergraduate Hindi Honours programme was introduced, followed by postgraduate, M.Phil., and Ph.D. courses. The department currently has two Professors, one Associate Professor, and four Assistant Professors, who are specialists in various genres and discourses of literature. Faculty members have expertise in folk literature, Dalit discourse, women’s studies, tribal discourse, as well as story, poetry, essay, novel, and other literary forms. The department is active in the Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Bhawan located in the Gandhi Bhavan campus. It has made its significant presence felt by organizing many national and international research seminars. From time to time, poetry recitals, discussions, and special lectures are organized to enrich students’ knowledge. Eminent scholars from different fields are invited to deliver lectures. To develop leadership qualities among students, a "Hindi Sahitya Sabha" has also been formed, which enthusiastically conducts all the events of the department.
