International Mother Language Day is an annual observance on February 21st dedicated to promoting linguistic and cultural diversity, as well as multilingualism. The significance of this day lies in recognizing the importance of mother languages in preserving cultural heritage and identity. It also aims to raise awareness about the value of multilingualism in promoting sustainable development, fostering social cohesion, and ensuring inclusive education. Talking about India and Odisha in particular, the Odia language holds a significant place among the many official languages of the country. Primarily spoken in Odisha, Odia boasts a rich history that dates back to the 10th century CE. With inscriptions from that era, it is considered one of the oldest languages known in the world. Today, millions of people in the region speak Odia, making it a language of great importance in the eastern part of India, particularly in Odisha. Recognizing its cultural and historical significance, the Government of India has bestowed classical language status upon Odia, making it the sixth Indian language to receive such recognition. This status is based on its long literary history and distinct characteristics. In various domains, including literature, education, media, and administration, the Odia language continues to be spoken and used. It has a rich literary tradition, with notable works and writers contributing to Odia literature. However, there is a growing concern about the lack of digital content and online presence in the language. Experts have emphasized the need for more Odia language content on the internet to promote and preserve the language. To address this issue and promote the use of Odia in the digital space, efforts are being made by various stakeholders. The government of Odisha, under the leadership of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, has announced the development of a special language policy aimed at the promotion of Odia language in the future. This initiative reflects the commitment to preserve and promote the language, ensuring its continued relevance and importance. While challenges exist, the preservation and promotion of the Odia language are crucial to ensure its continued relevance and importance in the region.
