MALAYALAM MISSION

MALAYALAM MISSION
Malayalam Mission to promote the study of Malayalam language and Literature. This programme has been started understanding that the new generation is going away from the language and culture of kerala and this is an attempt to bridge the gap and bring them back. It is sad to see our children drifting away from our language and culture.
Teaching of Malayalam language will provide a window to the culture of our state. The state government should provide all help to the Malayalam mission in terms of Books and training for teachers.
The website and an online teaching programme would be started soon as part of the mission. The weakening of the regional language was a threat to our country. Through this mission children of non-resident keralites across the world will be able to learn Malayalam through learning centers that will be set up with the help of Malayali organizations in different parts of the world.
We need this mission for our children to be able to sustain the language and culture and to instill in them the pride of belonging to kerala.
The state government should ensure that children in kerala too learn to read ,write and speak Malayalam and also had made it compulsory for schools to have the mother tongue as a subject. The Central government through its schools should also look at encouraging students to learn their mother tongue. This will go a long way to keep alive regional languages and culture.
