Evolution of Dakshina Bharat Hindi prachar sabha
As we know Hindi is one of the most important languages in India. It is very much necessary that Hindi language should always be given proper recognition all over India. For this purpose to be fulfilled it is necessary that we need a particular Sabha to promote the value of Hindi language. Spreading of the importance of Hindi was a difficult task in olden days.

He founded at Madras so as to unite the northern and southern part of India by servicing throughout his life time for this institution. Gandhiji wanted south Indians themselves to have a Hindi sabha, so in 1928 he started Dakshina Bharat Hindi prachar sabha and till 1947 he was the president of the Hindi Prachar Sabha.
