International Mother Language Day (IMLD) is an annual worldwide observance held on 21 February to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. First proclaimed by UNESCO in 1999, it has been observed globally since 2000 to advocate for the preservation of all languages used by people of the world.

This year's celebrations highlight the role of young people in shaping multilingual education.
In India, it is celebrated as Matribhasha Diwas, with events promoting the country's 22 scheduled languages and hundreds of other native tongues.

In keeping with this year's theme EVESCAPE visited a school at Rumdamol Davorlim to witness a program put together by the school with students coming from various states of our country therefore highlighting their native mother languages.
In this story we highlight how young people are not just inheriting languages but are safeguarding linguistic diversity .
