Oxford, which has lately launched  the hindi dictionary expects and invites a hindi to term it as the word of the year. Agriculture is a subject which involves people of abundant hindi knowledge and hence Krishi Jagran motivates everyone to be a part of this maiden event of Oxford.

The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression that has attracted a great deal of interest over the last 12 months. Every year, we debate several candidates for word of the year and choose a winner that is judged to reflect the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particular year and to have lasting potential as a word of cultural significance.  The 2016 English Word of the Year 2016 is “Post Truth”.The concept of ‘post-truth’ has been in existence for the past decade, but Oxford Dictionaries has seen a spike in frequency the past year in the context of Brexit and the US presidential election.
