अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस 2022

 अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस 2022

International Mother Language Day 2022: दुनियाभर में आज 21 फरवरी को अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस मनाया जा रहा है। मातृभाषा दिवस को मनाने का उद्देश्य विश्वभर में अपनी भाषा और सांस्कृतिक की विविधताओं के प्रति लोगों में जागरुकता फैलाना है, ताकी दुनिया में बहुभाषिता को बढ़ावा मिल सके। अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस हर साल 21 फरवरी को मनाया जाता है। अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस मनाने का विचार सबसे पहले बांग्लादेश से आया। संयुक्त राष्ट्र शैक्षिक, वैज्ञानिक और सांस्कृतिक संगठन (यूनेस्को) के सामान्य सम्मेलन ने 17 नवंबर 1999 में मातृभाषा दिवस मनाने की घोषणा की। जिसमें फैसला लिया गया कि 21 फरवरी को अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाएगा।

पहला अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस कब मनाया गया?

साल 1952 में बांग्लादेश में ढाका यूनिवर्सिटी के विद्यार्थियों और सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं ने अपनी मातृभाषा का अस्तित्व बनाए रखने के लिए 21 फरवरी को एक आंदोलन किया था। इस आंदोलन में बांग्लादेश के कई युवा शहीद हो गए थे। इन शहीद युवाओं की स्मृति में ही यूनेस्को ने पहली बार साल 1991 को ऐलान किया कि 21 फरवरी को मातृभाषा दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाएगा। पहला अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस साल 2000 में मनाया गया। बांग्लादेश में 21 फरवरी के दिन एक राष्ट्रीय अवकाश होता है। 

साल 2002 में संयुक्त राष्ट्र (यूएन) की महासभा ने यूनेस्को के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस मनाने वाले फैसले का स्वागत किया। 16 मई, 2007 को संयुक्त राष्ट्र महासभा ने "दुनिया के लोगों द्वारा इस्तेमाल की जाने वाली सभी भाषाओं के संरक्षण को बढ़ावा देने के लिए" सदस्य राज्यों के एक प्रस्ताव भी भेजा था।

 मातृभाषा दिवस क्यों मनाया जाता है?

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस मनाने के पीछे का मकसद है कि दुनियाभर की भाषाओं और सांस्कृतिक का सम्मान हो। इस दिन तो मनाये जाने का उद्देश्य विश्व भर में भाषायी और सांस्कृतिक विविधता का प्रचार-प्रसार करना है और दुनिया में विभिन्न मातृभाषाओं के प्रति लोगों को जागरुक करना है।

क्या है साल 2022 के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस का थीम?

2022 के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मातृभाषा दिवस का विषय (थीम), “बहुभाषी शिक्षा के लिए प्रौद्योगिकी का उपयोग: चुनौतियां और अवसर” (“Using technology for multilingual learning: Challenges and opportunities”), बहुभाषी शिक्षा को आगे बढ़ाने और सभी के लिए गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षण और सीखने के विकास का समर्थन करने के लिए प्रौद्योगिकी की संभावित भूमिका पर चर्चा करेगा।
