Recently, the trust, an autonomous institution under the Union Human Resource Development Ministry, convened a workshop on the Kokborok language of Tripura, with scholars and illustrators invited to participate. Kokborok is the language of the Borok tribe of Tripura, which has a population of about 15 lakh. While Kokborok had a script called Koloma, the Roman and Bengali scripts have been used to write it. The trust has already brought out eight books in dialects used in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh in the Devanagari script. It is also likely to publish books in Vajjika and Angika, two other dialects of Bihar.
