This has fulfilled the commitment of the State Government for inclusion of these languages in CBSE curriculum and has also been able to satisfy the persistent demand of students of these communities to afford them an opportunity to study their mother tongue at a higher level, it said.

The State Human Resource Development Department (HRDD) had already submitted draft text books for these four languages to CBSE for their introduction in the curriculum, once the approval is granted. Further, the HRDD had also submitted a list of qualified candidates who can teach these languages in the schools of Sikkim once the subjects are introduced. This will now pave the way for introduction of these 4 languages at further higher level including university level in subsequent years.
