Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday recommended a proposal for inclusion of Saora language in the 8th schedule of Constitution of India.

Inclusion of the language in the 8th schedule of Constitution of India will help in the preservation, promotion, propagation of the Saora language and culture, Law Minister Jagannath Saraka told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.

Activities such as publication, creation of content and recognition will get momentum while it will also create an eco-system to facilitate research and studies anchored around the language.

More than than five lakh Saora speaking indigenous people will be benefitted with this decision. The cabinet decision to recommend the inclusion of Saora language in the 8th schedule of Constitution of India will have no financial implication.

Saora, Savar, Saura and Sahara are among the ancient known tribes of Odisha. They are mentioned in old mythologies and Sanskrit literature. They are widely spread in all the districts of Odisha and their major concentration is in Gajapati district, Gunupur sub-division of Rayagada district and in Bargarh district. They happen to be one of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) in the state.
