Nepali Language Recognition Day

Nepali Language Recognition Day is celebrated on August 20 to commemorate the day when the Nepali language was officially recognized in the Indian Constitution. This happened on August 20, 1992, when the language was added to the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India. The day is celebrated by Nepali speakers across India as a mark of respect for their language.
The recognition of the Nepali language was ignited as a proposal during India’s Independence in 1947. Anand Singh Thapa began the movement in 1956.
