Assam CM announces mandatory regional language learning for government officials

In his New Year’s press conference, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that it will now be compulsory for the government in the state to learn a regional language, in addition to Assamese. 

“If one joins ACS or APS, he/she must learn a language other than Assamese. It may be Boro, Mising, or even Karbi. But I have to learn a regional language because when we go to these places we are not able to work”. 

The initiative aims to promote linguistic diversity and improve communication within Assam’s multicultural society.
