Mising Language to Be Introduced in 200 Assam Primary Schools

Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu announced that 200 primary schools will adopt Mising as a medium of instruction from the 2025-2026 academic session. These schools will be designated as “Mising Medium Lower Primary Schools.” Mising will also be offered as an elective subject in upper primary and high schools. The move, announced on Ali-A:ye Ligang, aims to preserve the Mising language and culture. Similar proposals are under review for Rabha, Tiwa, Deuri, Karbi, Dimasa, and Santal languages.
