Eklavya - Wisdom in Our Language

#कोरोना रोग पसरे मायापां आप आपूनागं पिलानुगं झॉक किसी ईराट.

व्हायरस वीर मीराना पुस्तक आपूणा गोंडी भाषात लिहे कितोरोम.

इद पुस्तक तुन वाचे किसी दुसरोन वाचे कियाला वेहाट.

इद रोगताहा पिसनासाठी बाताल बाताल कियाना व्हायरस मिराना पुस्तकतागा लिहे किता मन्ता.

इद पुस्तक सदुराम मडावी वेर एकलव्य साठी भाषातंर कितोर .

The monopoly of languages has been discriminating for tribal & regional languages. This has created a cultural malnutrition in these languages and its speakers.

We at Eklavya attempt to break the vicious cycle of the lingual hierarchy and bring the knowledge in these very languages from latest sources.

In wake of Covid-19, we have made information shared by WHO and Unicef in 5 tribal languages.

Presenting you another attempt of training the new generation of Gondi speaking population. Gondi is a South-Central Dravidian language, spoken by about two million Gondi people, chiefly in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Telangana, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and in various adjoining areas of neighbouring states. Still, it remained unaddressed and no information was shared in the same language by any official sources.

Partnering with Bookyboo.com which offers a hyper customised book for a child in English, Eklavya tried to publish set of instructions in story form so that it could spread awareness about Pandemic and what care should be taken to avoid the same.

Presenting you the book in Gondi language, translated by Saduram Madavi from Eklavya.

Do share the book and more inspiring stories.
