Supported by UNICEF, it aims to expand statewide based on linguistic needs.
Jaipur: Rajasthan has launched a multilingual education initiative in government schools to make learning more engaging by incorporating local dialects into classroom teaching, officials said.
To bridge the gap between home and school language, the project will teach students to use commonly spoken local words, such as 'ladu', 'rotlo' and 'moto bapo' instead of the standard Hindi terms, Shweta Phagediya, Director, Rajasthan State Council of Educational Research and Training (RSCERT), said.
The programme will initially be implemented in 11 districts before being expanded across the state in phases, she said.
The officials said surveys conducted across districts identified more than 30 dialects, with ‘Wagdi’ and ‘Mewari’ among the most widely spoken by the students.
