Celebrated annually on August 20th.
Marks the inclusion of the Nepali language in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution in 1992, recognizing it as an official language.
Observed with parades, literary and cultural programs in areas with significant Nepali-speaking populations across India.
The day commemorates the decades-long struggle of the Nepali-speaking community for language recognition.
Interestingly, August 20th is also celebrated as Meitei Language Day, as both languages gained official status simultaneously.
