Roopa Aur Aap Charitable Trust extends its heartfelt thanks to India In Auckland - Consulate General of India, Dr Madan Mohan Sethi and the Consulate team for giving our CEO, Roopa Suchdev, the honour of emceeing Hindi Diwas 2026 on 19th September. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

For Roopa ji, hosting Hindi Diwas was particularly special because Hindi has been an important part of her life for decades.

Her journey with the language began in India, where she completed her Masterโ€™s in Hindi and later became a college lecturer. After moving to New Zealand, her passion for Hindi travelled with her. In 1994, she began teaching Hindi at Bhartiya Mandir, and later continued through Bhartiya Samaj Bal Vikas, where she remains involved in teaching Hindi to this day.

From teaching Hindi in India to nurturing the language among generations of children in Aotearoa, and now standing on stage to emcee Hindi Diwas 2026, it was a beautiful continuation of that journey. โค๏ธ

And what an energetic programme it was! From เค•เคตเคฟเคคเคพ เคชเคพเค  and เคถเคฌเฅเคฆ เคœเฅเคžเคพเคจ to เคฎเฅเคนเคพเคตเคฐเฅ‡, เคจเคฟเคฌเค‚เคง เคฒเฅ‡เค–เคจ, singing and โ€œเคฎเฅ‡เคฐเฅ€ เคนเคฟเค‚เคฆเฅ€, เคฎเฅ‡เคฐเฅ€ เคชเคนเคšเคพเคจโ€, the enthusiasm and participation throughout the programme was wonderful to see. Most heartening was seeing so many participants confidently embracing and celebrating Hindi. ๐Ÿ‘โœจ

For RAA, this is why programmes like Hindi Diwas matter. When we preserve a language, we preserve much more than words. We preserve stories, เคธเค‚เคธเฅเค•เคพเคฐ, culture and a connection to our roots that can be passed from one generation to the next.

What stood out most was the wonderful engagement in the room. Members were calling out answers, discussing possibilities, helping each other and laughing together. Some answers came quickly, while others took a little more thought. That process of thinking, sharing and encouraging one another was just as important as getting the answer right.
