Jammu, Feb 22: The signature campaign save Dogri organized by Swabhiman NGO, on the occasion of International Mother Language Day (IMLD) here got a massive response from the general public, especially the youth.
Senior Congress leader, AIYC, Vikram Malhotra was the Chief Guest on the occasion, who inaugurated the signature campaign in the presence of a large number of citizens of Jammu city.
In his address Malhotra expressed his concern over step-motherly treatment being meted out to the Dogri language by the concerned government authorities. He demanded that Dogri should be taught in the schools from Primary level and that steps should be taken to make it a compulsory subject at the Secondary level, so that the new generation is greatly involved and made aware of their mother tongue.
"The government should make provision for establishment of Dogri Academy in the State, so that Dogri language and literature is preserved and propagated like other respective languages and it gets due," he asserted. Those who have taken part in the campaign, were also of the same view and expressed their dismay over pathetic approach of the concerned authorities in the government towards promotion of Dogri language. However, they were appreciative of the Signature Campaign organized by the "Swabhiman", NGO. |
