Demand for tribal language academy

The Lambada Hakkula Porata Samiti and Jagathi Mahila Mandal on Sunday demanded 

that the state government fulfil its promise of setting up a special academy for 

development of tribal language. 

This promise was made by the then minister for school education, N Rajyalakshmi, 

in 2004. She had promised that the academy would be set up with headquarters at 

Hyderabad and it would work to encourage tribal students to go to school. But 

since then there has not been much progress.
