Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday announced to come up with a special language policy aimed at promotion of Odia language in future.
Inaugurating first ever ‘World Odia Language Conference’ here, Mr. Patnaik said, “Odia is our language and identity. Language is unifying factor for a race.”
“Odia is a classical language with a rich history. It can be enriched further with addition of new words. Culture and technology have their influences on language,” he said calling upon experts to deliberate on these issues.
