There are seven states in North-East India viz. Assam, Arunachal Pradesh,
Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura & Meghalaya. Our vanvasi brethern there,
live in deep forests & hilly terrains. There are about 182 tribes. They have
many languages, but have no script of their own. During the British rule,
Christian Missionaries propagated the Roman script for writing these languages.
Vidya Bharati has now offered them the Devnagri (Hindi) script which has been
widely welcomed by the vanvasi people as their own script. The vanvasi people
are truthful and courageous. Their poverty is the main reason of their
exploitation at the hands of Christian Missionaries. Vidya Bharati is determined
to come to the rescue of these people by offering them free education &
economic facilities. |
