Constitution 2025 release by President Droupadi Murmu in Ol Chiki script enhances tribal inclusion, constitutional literacy, and linguistic diversity in India.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Santhali_Joins_the_Constitutional_Languages_Historic_Release_of_the_Indian_Constitution_in_Ol_Chiki_Script\"><\/span><strong>Santhali Joins the Constitutional Languages: Historic Release of the Indian Constitution in Ol Chiki Script<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong>December 25, 2025<\/strong>, <strong>President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu<\/strong> released the <strong>Constitution of India translated into the Santhali language<\/strong> written in the <strong>Ol Chiki script<\/strong> at a special programme held at <strong>Rashtrapati Bhavan<\/strong> in New Delhi. This was a major milestone for linguistic inclusion and tribal empowerment in India. <a href=\"https:\/\/currentaffairs.adda247.com\/santhali-joins-the-constitutional-languages-as-president-launches-new-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adda247+1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release reflects India\u2019s constitutional commitment to inclusivity, cultural respect, and democratic accessibility for all citizens. Millions of Santhali-speaking tribal communities across states such as <strong>Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, and Bihar<\/strong> can now read and understand the supreme law of the land in their <strong>mother tongue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_of_the_Santhali_Translation\"><\/span><strong>Significance of the Santhali Translation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This translation is not just a symbolic event but an effort to strengthen democratic participation. The availability of the Constitution in Santhali helps tribal citizens connect more deeply with their constitutional rights, duties, and democratic values. This move fosters <strong>linguistic pluralism<\/strong> which is a cornerstone of India\u2019s democratic ethos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Murmu emphasized that <strong>language shapes identity, participation, and constitutional awareness<\/strong>. By making the Constitution accessible in Santhali, the government encourages wider civic engagement and enables citizens to engage with governance in a language familiar to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ol_Chiki_Script_and_Cultural_Identity\"><\/span><strong>Ol Chiki Script and Cultural Identity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A special feature of this initiative is the use of the <strong>Ol Chiki script<\/strong>, which was created in <strong>1925<\/strong> by <strong>Pandit Raghunath Murmu<\/strong>. This script was developed specifically to write the Santhali language and has since become an integral part of Santhal identity and heritage. The <strong>year 2025 marks the centenary of the Ol Chiki script<\/strong>, making this release even more meaningful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President appreciated the <strong>Ministry of Law and Justice<\/strong> and the <strong>National Translation Mission<\/strong> for their efforts in completing this work during the script\u2019s 100th anniversary. Santhali was previously included in the <strong>Eighth Schedule of the Constitution<\/strong> through the <strong>92nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003<\/strong>, granting it official recognition in national policymaking and education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implications_for_Tribal_Empowerment\"><\/span><strong>Implications for Tribal Empowerment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making the Constitution available in Santhali not only enhances access but also reinforces the <strong>cultural dignity and identity<\/strong> of tribal communities. This step supports constitutional literacy among marginalized groups and aligns with constitutional provisions aimed at protecting linguistic minorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President also highlighted the importance of preserving indigenous languages, promoting environmental values inherent in tribal cultures, and encouraging literary contributions that enrich Santhali literature and oral traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"

Citizens who previously could not access the Constitution in their native language now gain a direct understanding of their fundamental rights, duties, and democratic principles. This boosts informed participation in civic life \u2014 an important factor for aspirants preparing for exams like <strong>UPSC, State PSCs, and other government services<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotion_of_Linguistic_Inclusion\"><\/span><strong>Promotion of Linguistic Inclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This development underscores the <strong>linguistic diversity of India<\/strong> by acknowledging and celebrating regional and tribal languages at the highest national level.

Through the <strong>92nd Constitutional Amendment Act (2003)<\/strong>, Santhali was added to the <strong>Eighth Schedule<\/strong> of the Constitution, giving it official recognition as one of India\u2019s scheduled languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ol_Chiki_Script_%E2%80%94_A_Century_of_Legacy\"><\/span><strong>Ol Chiki Script \u2014 A Century of Legacy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>1925<\/strong>, <strong>Pandit Raghunath Murmu<\/strong> created the <strong>Ol Chiki script<\/strong> to accurately represent the sounds of the Santhali language, replacing diverse other scripts that failed to capture its linguistic nuances.
