Subject: Approval for Issuance of Guidelines on the Use of Local Language in Official Work

Sir,

A Standing Committee recently visited various sections and divisions of this department to assess the extent of the use of the local language in official work. The committee observed that while some sections have incorporated the local language in their communications and records, there remains scope for wider adoption to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and public engagement.

In view of this, it is proposed that the Establishment and General Sections be directed to ensure that all official work, including correspondence, documentation, and internal communication, is conducted in the local language to the maximum extent possible. A guideline outlining the necessary steps for implementation may be issued to facilitate this transition.

Approval is kindly solicited for issuing the necessary directive.

[Your Name]
Secretary, Department of [XYZ]
