The newly established Santali Department at Trivenidevi Bhalotia College in the year 2024 marks a significant milestone in the institution & commitment to promoting linguistic and cultural diversity. This department aims to offer comprehensive academic programs that highlight the rich traditions, history, and linguistic heritage of the Santali-speaking community, primarily focusing on the Santal tribe, one of the largest indigenous groups in India. The Santali Department seeks to provide students with a deeper understanding of Santali language, literature, and culture, fostering a sense of pride and awareness among the youth about their roots. The faculty members, who are proficient in Santali language and culture, are dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive learning environment that encourages students to excel in their academic and personal growth. The establishment of the Santali Department is a step towards inclusivity, recognising the importance of indigenous languages in the academic realm. It also reflects Trivenidevi Bhalotia College’s commitment to promoting regional languages, heritage, and culture alongside mainstream academic disciplines. As the department grows, it aims to collaborate with other institutions and organisations to further enrich the study and preservation of Santali, contributing to the academic and cultural diversity of the region.
