Shri Keshari Nath Tripathi said: “Translation is one of the very important aspects of any language. It helps the people of a region to know about the culture, traditions and rituals of the other region.”
Prof Kaptan Singh Solanki said such conferences are necessary to spread the prominence of a language and its role in enriching history. Prof V Jayalakshmi said such topics should be discussed more often in order to unite the whole nation as one family.
