Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today laid emphasis on the necessity of research on languages, saying that International Mother Language Institute (IMLI) has the responsibility to preserve all the languages existing in the world.
“I think IMLI has the responsibility to preserve all the languages prevailing in the world as well as conduct research on those languages and know their history. I think it can be done,” she said.
The premier said this while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the four-day programme marking the International Mother Language Day-2023 at International Mother Language Institute (IMLI) auditorium here as chief guest.
Mentioning that fellowship is needed to be introduced in the IMLI for researchers, she said “I will arrange the fund (for introducing fellowship) if it is required.”
“I want that IMLI to put emphasis on the research as attaining excellence is not possible without it,” she said, stressing the need for research to preserve, revitalize and develop the mother languages of the world.dhngkfdvk
