Mother Tongue

Mother Tongue ECCE Curriculum “Nua Arunima”

Language has been one of the most significant barriers to early education for these children, as many enter Anganwadi Centres where the language of instruction is unfamiliar. Recognising the need for equity and inclusion, the Government of Odisha introduced a mother tongue-based Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) curriculum titled “Nua Arunima” to bridge the linguistic gap.
