In Chhattisgarh, the rich tradition of folk songs, folk tales, and traditional knowledge is preserved in our mother tongues, which it is our responsibility to pass on to the next generation.
Chief Minister Shri Sai appealed to the people of the state to promote their mother tongues, connect children with their dialect and language, and contribute to preserving the linguistic diversity of Chhattisgarh.
