Awareness session on language revitalization and ecological preservation

Team NEILAC organized awareness sessions on language revitalization in five villages of Thrizino Circle, West Kameng District, Arunachal Pradesh. Dr. Vijay D’Souza emphasized the significance of preserving the native language during the sessions. The event commenced with a spirited children’s march aimed at spreading awareness messages throughout the villages. This was followed by an oath-taking ceremony where participants solemnly pledged to safeguard the Aka (Hrusso) language and culture. To reinforce this commitment, a signature drive was conducted. Additionally, the Aka Language Academy generously donated ‘Aka Na Shipyow’ materials and Alphabet Charts, which were distributed among the attendees. These efforts aimed to ignite a collective resolve towards preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the community.
