Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, alongside Speaker Surma Padhi, paid floral tributes to the legendary Pandit Raghunath Murmu at his statue near the State Assembly to mark his birth anniversary.
Fondly known as Guru Gomke, Pandit Murmu is celebrated as a visionary reformer and the architect of the Ol Chiki script. CM Majhi hailed his "unparalleled contribution" to Santali literature and his role in securing global recognition for the language’s cultural identity.
In a poignant social media post, the Chief Minister urged citizens to follow Murmu’s example by preserving their rich heritage and striving for a prosperous, inclusive society. By honoring the man who gave a voice to millions, the state reaffirms its commitment to linguistic and cultural pride. This anniversary serves as a powerful reminder of the strength found in one's roots.
