International Mother Tongue Day |
 |
|
Languages, full of complex implications for individuality, communication, social integration, education and development bear strategic importance for both people and planet. Every year International Mother Language Day is observed on 21st February to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
To take pride in our mother tongue that teaches us to speak, to express, and to think, we, the entire family of Brainware University celebrate the day with full enthusiasm and passion. This year too, we organized a little event with active participation from our teachers and students.
The inaugural ceremony was commenced through light kindling ritual by our honorable Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Subrata Kumar Dey, and Registrar, Ms. Mahua Pal. Both our respected VC and Registrar then delivered a short speech signifying the importance of language and why we should celebrate this day. After that we held one minute condolence for all those brave-heart soldiers, recently martyred in Pulwama terror-attack in Kashmir.
Then began the main programme; students skillfully presented dance, drama, singing, and speech- all showing respect to their mother tongue. Every performance carried a message in its own to teach us why we should respect each language and remove the barriers lying among them.
The hour-long programme ended in a happy note through the presentation of two dramas, directed and performed by students. The message was- language is not just a medium for communication, but an emotion that binds us all together.
