The cabinet of Assam announced the creation of a ministerial panel tasked with reviewing the report submitted by the Dimasa language committee. The panel will consist of senior ministers appointed by the chief minister and will study the committee's recommendations in detail.
The primary objective of the panel is to assess how the committee's findings can be incorporated into the state's language policy, particularly concerning the recognition and promotion of Dimasa, a tribal language spoken in several districts of Assam.
Officials said the panel's analysis will be presented to the state government within a stipulated timeframe, after which appropriate legislative or administrative measures may be considered. The move reflects the government's intent to address linguistic diversity and safeguard the cultural heritage of the Dimasa community.
Stakeholders, including community leaders and language experts, are expected to provide inputs during the panel's deliberations, ensuring that any policy shift aligns with the aspirations of Dimasa speakers.
