Uttarakhand's folk literature to be digitised, linguistic map of state dialects to be created

Dehradun: Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday directed officials to take steps toward digitising Uttarakhand's dialects, folk tales, folk songs, and literature. "An e-library should be established for this purpose, and a linguistic map of the state's dialects prepared. In addition to expanding collections of folk tales, audio-visual materials should also be created," he said while chairing the general assembly and management executive committee meeting of the Uttarakhand Bhasha Sansthan (Language Institute) at the Secretariat. A decision was also taken that the ancient 'Bakna' singing of the Pandavani tradition in the Jaunsar Bawar region will be documented for preservation. The Institute will conduct comprehensive literary collections of renowned playwright 'Govind Ballabh Pant,' compile literature published 50 to 100 years ago by Uttarakhand writers in various Indian journals and undertake research projects for the preservation and study of Uttarakhand's high Himalayan and tribal languages. Two literary villages will also be established to promote creative writing and foster dialogue among writers in natural settings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Dhami also urged schools to hold weekly speech, essay, and other competitions in local dialects and suggested that books, not bouquets, be presented during official visits.
