"India's global reputation has grown immensely over the years. People want to learn Hindi to get the right information about India. Interest in Hindi has increased among crores of people to increase knowledge about India's art culture, architecture, family system, married life, Hindi film, yoga-meditation, cooking, politics and business," Moxraj said.
