Workshop on April 5 to discuss future of Oriya Language.

State-owned Odia Bhasa Pratisthan will host a two-day national workshop here commencing on April 5. Besides delegates from within the State, the workshop will have some delegates from other parts of the country.In view of the rapid invasion of English language in public life, the prospects of Oriya language are facing a serious threat. Thus, the thrust has been on exploring all avenues to preserve and promote Oriya language in its pure form, the organisers said. Apart from dwelling on the language issue, the workshop would devote a session for discussion of the future course of action of the Pratisthan, sources said on Sunday.
The experts would also look into the various regional dialects prevalent in the State and discuss development of tools for promotion of the mother tongue and explore possibilities of collaborating with institutions having a similar mission, the sources added.
