World Mother Language Day

International Mother Language Day 2022

International Mother Language Day is observed globally on 21st February to recognize and promote multilingual diversity. The aim behind this day is to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by the people of the world. In the era of Globalization and Digitalization, several local languages are on the verge of extinction. This day also aims to preserve and transmit traditional knowledge and cultures through multilingual societies.

DPGA celebrated Mother Language Day with great fanfare on 21st February to promote cultural diversity and multilingualism. Students were dressed up in traditional attire and participated in various activities. The students gave speeches, sung songs, recited poems in many different languages such as Punjabi, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Rajasthani and other languages. They spoke a few lines on their traditional food and dress. Through these activities students learnt that languages play a significant role in development, intercultural dialogue, and ensuring cultural diversity.

International Mother Language Day (IMLD) is celebrated every year on the 21st February with the overall objective to promote linguistic diversity and multilingualism. We live in multilingual and multicultural societies with multilingual citizens. We exist through our languages; it is through language that we express ourselves, we communicate, we participate in social and public life, and we transmit traditional knowledge, knowledge and cultures in a sustainable way.

International Mother Language Day is celebrated all over the world, especially at the school level. The theme of IMLD for the year 2019 was Indigenous languages matter for development, peace building and reconciliation.

In Dr. Pillai Global Academy, Gorai, we celebrated International Mother Language Day in a traditional way wherein the teachers as well as the students wore clothes of different cultures of the world to show their appreciation of all languages and cultures of the world.

The day began with the morning assembly which was the highlight of the day. During the morning assembly, the IB students informed the students the importance of International Mother Language Day. They also told students the reason why it is celebrated. It was followed by a small skit which included some traditional dances in it. The assembly concluded with some words of wisdom from our Deputy CEO Dr. Sharda Sharma followed by the National Anthem. After the assembly, the students went to their respective classes where they had activities conducted by the teachers. These activities were planned to make them aware of the different mother languages in our country and around the world. At the end of the day the activities which the students did, came up in the form of a collage on their classroom boards. Children enjoyed themselves and at the same time learnt a lot.
