The final draft for the formation of Lepcha Development Council, which was sent to the Cabinet Council, has been passed by the Home Ministry. The above was informed by the Lepcha Youth Association President, Dorjee T Lepcha today. He also informed that recently the association representative faction has returned from Kolkata. Now, it will take 15- 20 days for the draft to come from the Cabinet Council, he said and hoped that soon the Lepcha Development Council will be formed whose draft has been prepared as per the demand of the Lepchas. Till now 7 meetings have been conducted with the Government and the draft for the Council has been discussed, he notified. “We are satisfied on how the process is going”, expressed Lepcha.However, the decision of the Government of teaching Lepcha language in school level since 2012, no steps has been taken as yet. Commenting on this, Lepcha said that there is no individual in the Education Board who knows the language and to prepare the lessons. This is why there has been a delay, he clarified. Nevertheless, two people have been included in the Education Board to prepare the books/ lessons and the work is underway. He also hoped that the Lepcha classes will start from 2013.
