Hindi Sahitya Sabha not only organizes various entertainment events but also helps the students in academic matters. Many students come here from Hindi medium background, while English is the only medium of instruction here at IIT. Due to this, these students have to face a lot of difficulties in competing with other students. Hindi Sahitya Sabha in association with Institute Counselling Service started conducting classes in Hindi medium for these students since last year. These classes are taken by second year students of the institute voluntarily. In these classes, whatever content is covered in English in the lectures is explained in Hindi.
This initiative received a very enthusiastic response from the students last year.

Hindi Learning Classes :

Hindi Sahitya sabha conducts Hindi classes every year, especially for those people of IIT Kanpur who find themselves uncomfortable in reading or writing Hindi. The main purpose of these classes is to acquaint the IITK community with the widest spoken language of the nation, Hindi and thus to break the walls of language barrier. These classes are taken by second and third year students of the institute voluntarily. Currently, these classes are being held at two levels.

1.Basic Level :- In these classes, participants are familiarized with the common day to day language and given basic knowledge of Hindi grammar. These classes are meant for those people who find it difficult to mingle with the student community due to lack of knowledge of Hindi.
2. Advanced Level:- The topics of Hindi language are covered in a quite detailed manner in these classes. Special attention is given to depth of language and grammar.
Both of these classes are conducted on yearly term basis. Enrolled students are also provided with assignments periodically for self evaluation. You can download these assignments from here. For more enquiries about these classes, please contact any coordinator or secretary.

Translation of “Concepts of Physics” :-

The very popular book “Concepts of Physics” by Dr. H. C. Verma for JEE preparation is being translated by Hindi Sahitya Sabha under the “ HCV Project ”. This project was initiated by Amardeep Singh, then coordinator of Hindi Sahitya Sabha. The only reason for translation of this great book is its sheer popularity and enormous importance for JEE aspirants. The two parts have already been translated and only the editing part is left. Since the project is in its last stage, the book is expected very soon.
