This meeting aimed to highlight the state administration’s efforts to promote the languages in the northeastern state, particularly among youths.

“As we discuss the next steps for the inclusion of the Khasi and Garo languages in the 8th Schedule, it is also critical that we promote the languages in the State not only through academics, seminars, and symposiums, but also through movies, music, and other forms of art, and broaden the activities,” he said.
