The Nagari Pracharini Sabha (ISO: Nāgarī Pracāriṇī Sabhā lit. 'Society for Promotion of Nagari'), also known as Kashi Nagari Pracharini Sabha, is an organization founded in 1893 at the Queen's College, Varanasi for the promotion of the Devanagari script and the Hindi language.[1]
The organization played a pivotal role in promoting Khariboli for official and literary purposes, as well as in documenting and printing the existing literature of Braj Bhasha and Awadhi by locating and preserving manuscripts.[2]
