Bodo council chief calls for development of tribal languages

New Indian Express  

GUWAHATI: Assam’s autonomous Bodoland Territorial Council chief Pramod Boro on Friday called for the development of tribal languages stating that nobody can neglect the mother tongue. Addressing the 57th annual conference of All Bodo Students’ Union at Bodofa Fwthar, Dotma in Kokrajhar district, Boro said special funds received by the tribal communities for their development, including the development of their languages, were not adequate. Tribal languages are becoming a medium of instruction in education and I want to request our education minister to take steps to further develop them,” said Boro, who is also the president of political outfit United People’s Party Liberal and an architect of the 2020 Bodo peace accord. Sadly, even today, Bodo and other tribal language textbooks are not adequate and error-free.
