CM Vishnu Deo Sai conveyed his warm wishes to the people of Chhattisgarh on International Mother Language Day (February 21), underscoring the significance of linguistic heritage and cultural diversity in the state.
CM Vishnu Deo Sai emphasized that Chhattisgarh’s identity is deeply intertwined with its rich multilingual traditions, where languages like Chhattisgarhi, Gondi, Halbi, Surgujia, Kurukh, and Bhathri serve as more than just communication tools—they represent the essence of the state’s cultural heritage. International Mother Language Day is a vital occasion to safeguard and promote these indigenous languages for future generations.
CM Vishnu Deo Sai highlighted that a mother tongue is not only a means of expression but also a link to one’s traditions and ancestral roots. The state’s folk songs, tales, and traditional wisdom are embedded in its native languages, making their preservation crucial.
Encouraging the people of Chhattisgarh to take pride in their linguistic heritage, he urged them to actively promote their mother tongues, inspire children to embrace their native languages, and contribute to sustaining the state’s diverse linguistic legacy.
