Скачать или смотреть International Mother Language Day 2026 at SSBK | Paying Tribute to Language Martyrs | OAR India

On 21st February 2026, Sundarban Sishu Bikash Kendra (SSBK), G-Plot, Pathar Pratima, West Bengal, observed International Mother Language Day with deep respect, awareness, and cultural pride. Organized by OAR – Our Association of Remedy, this meaningful event honored the historic language movement of 1952, when students in Dhaka, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), sacrificed their lives protesting the imposition of Urdu as the sole state language. Their courage laid the foundation for linguistic rights and was later recognized by UNESCO in 1999 as International Mother Language Day.
The program began with a peaceful awareness march, joined by students of Sundarban Sishu Bikash Kendra and Daspur Adivashi Abaitanik Primary School. The march started from Daspur School and concluded at SSBK, symbolizing unity, education, and respect for mother tongue.
At the gathering, the headmaster addressed the students about the historical significance of the day, alongside Mr. Narendranath Kuley (Assistant Secretary, OAR India), Mr. Bikash Biswas (Secretary, OAR India), and Bhomkesh Hoozait . The event began with a solemn one-minute silence in memory of the martyrs, followed by floral tributes offered by students and teachers.
The program concluded with a heartfelt cultural performance — a beautiful dance by two students on the iconic song “Amar Vaier Rokte Rangano”, reminding everyone of the sacrifices made for the Bengali language and cultural identity.
Through this celebration, OAR continues its mission of education, cultural preservation, tribal development, and social awareness in Sundarban, West Bengal. Events like this strengthen not only academic learning but also historical understanding and community unity.
