Saura children to be imparted education in own language

In a novel move, the Gajapati district administration in Odisha has launched an initiative titled 'Aame Padhibaa Aama Bhasare' (we will learn in our own language) to impart pre-school education to children belonging to the Saura tribal community, one of the oldest Scheduled Tribes, in their own language. The programme will cover 30 anganwadi centres in Gumma and Rayagada blocks of Gajapati district which has around 90 per cent of the Saura population. In the first phase of the initiative, the State government has decided to implement the programme in six tribal-majority districts namely Gajapati, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Rayagada, Kandhamal and Keonjhar. The children will be taught in indigenous languages such as Koya (Malkangiri), Gondi (Nabarangpur), Kuvi (Rayagada) and Saura (Gajapati).
