Regional languages play a significant role in preserving local cultures, traditions and identities. They are closely tied to the cultural heritage and identity of specific regions or communities. They preserve and transmit unique customs, traditions, folklore, literature and oral histories that contribute to the rich cultural diversity of a country. To enhance students’ knowledge of Odia language, a language enhancement activity, ‘Painting with Lentils’ was conducted on Monday, 18th September 2023. In this activity the students will draw National fruit or Flag of India and will paste pulses to give an artistic look. Students will write their name in Odia.
