Nagri Pracharini Sabha is the leading organization of the country which is promoting the Hindi language and literature and Devanagari script. It was founded on July 16, 1893 by Shyamsundar Das. At this time the English, Urdu and Persian were dominated languages.
Establishment
The Nagri Pracharini Sabha was established by Queen Girls' College, three students of class nine in Varanasi - Babu Shyamsundar Das, Pt. Ramnarayan Mishra and Shivkumar Singh sitting in the Verandah of the college hostel. Later on July 16, 1893, the date of its establishment was determined by these noblemen and the 'Cousin' brother of Bartentndu Harishchandra 'Babu Radhakrishna Das', the father of modern Hindi, Bharatendu Harishchandra, became its first president. It was a in meeting of Kashi's 'Saptasagar Mohalla' on the horse stall. Later, this institution was an independent building. Those who became members of the same year, Mahamopadhyay were scholars of Indian fame such as P Sudhakar Dwivedi, Ibrahim George Gireson, Ambikadatt Vyas, Chaudhary Premgana.
Development Work
In 1893, the Kashi Nagari Pracharni Sabha was established in Varanasi, which worked for the development of Hindi language. Scholars like Bharatendu Harishchandra, Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi and Ramchandra Shukla did a lot of work for the all round development of Hindi language. Munshi Premchand was the chief of storytellers, so Pandit Jayashankar Prasad was the forerunner in the form of playwright. Among poets, 'Hariaudh', 'Maithilisaran Gupta', 'Suryakant Mani Tripathi Nirala', 'Mahadevi Verma' were the chiefs. All these people were indirectly or directly influenced by the Hindi development work of 'Kashi Nagari Pracharini Sabha' and all of them contributed a lot to the development of Hindi language in their own way.
Dr Shyamsudar Das was the second in the three publicists of the Kashi's civil publicity conference. In this work his colleague Pt. Ram Narayan Mishra and Thakur Shiv Kumar Singh were. Mishraji was also Punjabi like Babuji, who had settled in Kashi and because of being an Arya Samaj follower, the Hindi service was considered to be his religion. By his inspiration, Babu Gadadhar Singh had entrusted his collection of rare texts to Arya language to library 'Kashi Nagari Prachini Sabha', which is still known by this name.
Millions of Handwritten Books
The meditation of Kashi's Civil Prachar Sabha started in the beginning itself to the fact that many handwritten Hindi books have become unknown in many parts of the country, in the houses of the princely houses and people. With the help of the government, he took up the task of searching books since 1900 and in the eight reports of his search till 1911, hundreds of unknown poets and unknown poems of known poets have been traced. In 1913, all these materials were used by the Mishra brothers (Shree Pt. Shyambihari Mishra etc.) to publish his large collection as 'Mishrabandhu Vinod', in which present poets and writers have been included, published in three parts.
In the circumstances under which the assembly had to take its own route from the beginning to its purpose for its purpose. But the sympathy and active support meeting of the erstwhile Vidyav Mandalal and Jana Samaj was started from the very beginning, so at the end of its establishment, the Assembly started taking big, solid and important work.
