This law establishes Hindi written in the Devanagari script as the official language for all government work within the state of Bihar. It applies to all state government departments and officials who conduct business on behalf of the state. The legislation was enacted to ensure that the state's administrative functions are carried out in a language that is widely understood and culturally significant, subject to specific constitutional provisions. By making this change, the state aims to promote linguistic unity and ensure that official documents and communications are accessible to the general public in their native tongue.
