Now, every school in the state will dedicate one day a week to teaching Chhattisgarhi and other local dialects. Teaching material is also being prepared to implement this decision.

In Bastar and Surguja, text material is being prepared in local dialects, and in remaining regions, the material is being compiled in Chhattisgarhi. Studying in Chhattisgarhi and other local dialects one day a week will encourage the students to speak the dialects and take interest in the same.
