UP Celebrates Languages with Festivals
The Uttar Pradesh government is organizing two big celebrations to promote languages and culture.
The first is Bharatiya Bhasha Utsav-2025, which will be held from December 4 to 11, 2025, in about 1.32 lakh schools with nearly 1.48 crore children taking part.
The theme is 'Many Languages, One Emotion.'
Each day will have a different activity like making language trees, singing poems, and learning proverbs.
The goal is to make children proud of their own language and respect other Indian languages.
The festival will end on the birthday of a famous poet named Subramania Bharati.
The second event is Kashi Tamil Sangamam 4.0, where 50 Tamil teachers will teach basic Tamil to 1,500 students in 50 schools in Varanasi.
Additionally, 300 students from Varanasi will visit Tamil Nadu to learn Tamil and explore its culture.
