Promotion of Indigenous Languages in India

The Government of India, through the Sahitya Akademi, is actively promoting and preserving indigenous languages and cultural heritage. The Akademi recognizes both recognized and unrecognized tribal languages, awarding Bhasha Samman to writers and scholars. It celebrates the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples with an All-India Tribal Writers’ Meet and has established centers for oral and tribal literature. The UNMESHA International Literature Festival showcases tribal writers and languages, with significant participation from both domestic and international authors. The government collaborates with state institutions to further promote these languages.
