Droupadi Murmu inaugurated the centenary celebrations of the Ol Chiki script in New Delhi, marking 100 years since its creation in 1925 by Pandit Raghunath Murmu. The event, organised by the Ministry of Culture, celebrated the script’s role in preserving the Santhali language and strengthening Santal cultural identity. A commemorative coin and postage stamp were also released to honour this milestone. The Ol Chiki script has been instrumental in standardising the written form of Santhali and promoting linguistic pride among the Santal community in India and abroad.
