Imphal, March 03 2016:
Dr T Meinya, MP (Lok Sabha) has strongly
urged the Union Government, the Ministry of Home Affairs in
particular to issue an advisory to the Reserve Bank of India to in-
clude Manipuri language on the currency notes of the country as is
being done for other languages.
Manipuri is included in the 8th Schedule.
There have been
demands for inclusion of Manipuri language on the currency
notes of the country in order to develop the language.
Earlier
the language was written in Bengali script.
Now, the original
script is being used to write the Manipuri language and last
year the students of Class X had appeared their HSLC Exami-
nation using the original script, Dr Meinya said.
