As Armaan Khan, the School Literary Captain of Ujjwal Academy, Old City, Kiladerabad, you believe that languages can help bridge regional divides and promote unity.

Write a letter to the Editor of a national daily, in about 120 words, suggesting the introduction of an online regional language learning programme managed and run by student councils and language clubs in the city. The programme aims to help residents who have recently relocated to a new region in picking up the local language organically. Share the importance and credibility of such a programme and suggest a feasible way to execute it along with possible activities.

Answer: Ujjwal Academy, Old City, Kiladerabad | 30 August 2023 | The Editor, India Samachar, Kiladerabad | Subject: Need for an Online Regional Language Learning Programme | Sir | Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I wish to suggest the introduction of an online regional language learning programme in our city for residents who have recently relocated here. Language bridges regional divides. Learning the local tongue helps newcomers build rapport with neighbours, feel at home and promotes unity. The programme would be credible as it would be managed and run by student councils and language clubs, guided by language teachers. To make it feasible, sessions may be held online on weekends for three months, so that work and studies are not affected. Activities like conversation circles, language exchange with local families, folk songs and stories, quizzes and virtual cultural events would let learners pick up the language organically.
