Our Work
Activity
From classrooms to mehfil stages, from printing presses to social feeds — the many ways Jashn-e-Hindustan keeps Urdu flourishing.
Six Streams of Work
What the Initiative Does
Every programme we run belongs to one of six streams — each one a different door into the world of Urdu. Some open onto a stage, some onto a page, and some onto a classroom where a reed pen touches paper for the first time.

The Six Streams
Language & Learning
Urdu promotion campaigns, online learning programmes for students across India and the world, and workshops, seminars and training for teachers, researchers and enthusiasts.
Festivals & Mehfils
Mushairas, qawwali nights, literary festivals and cultural events that bring Urdu poetry, literature and art to the stage — and to new audiences.
Publishing & Research
Books, magazines and digital content; research and documentation of Urdu's history and contributions; translation projects that open the literature to wider readerships.
Competitions & Awards
Essay, poetry, storytelling, debate, calligraphy and speech contests for young talent — and recognition for distinguished writers, poets, educators and translators.
Youth & Community
Youth engagement initiatives, community outreach programmes and digital-media campaigns that connect Urdu with the younger generation through modern technology.
Institutions & Dialogue
Collaborations with universities, schools, madrasas and cultural organisations, and national and international conferences promoting research and global appreciation of Urdu.
