OUR CORRESPONDENT


Ranchi, Aug. 17: At a time when the future of the government led by
him appears bleak, chief minister Madhu Koda made tall promises for
the betterment of the tribal and regional languages. Appointment of
teachers, policy formation and funding were among the many offers made
by Koda on the occasion. Human resource development minister Bandhu
Tirkey was also present. Speaking at a state-level seminar on "Tribal
and regional language development" organised by art and culture
department at Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) today, Koda said: "A
society is identified by the language it speaks, and hence, both
tribal and regional languages needed support to evolve."
