92nd Constitutional Amendment

SANTHALI LANGUAGE AND OL CHIKI SCRIPT

The Ol Chiki script’s centenary, inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu, marks 100 years since Pandit Raghunath Murmu created it for Santhali. As a distinct scientific alphabet, it preserves tribal identity. With Santhali in the Eighth Schedule, focus now shifts to NEP-aligned mother tongue education, digital inclusion, and Bhashini-led integration.
