Minister for Research Department, Dr Mohesh Chai and Secretary Research Dani Salu also attended the meeting.

Underscoring the UNESCO report on endangered languages spoken by people of Arunachal Pradesh, Chai suggested to bring out authentic picture on the level of endangerment.

Secretary Research, Dani Salu also suggested the field research officers to do linguistic survey using proper research methodology. ‘The outcome of the research project will be notified by the government which are to be used as official references.
