They are concentrated in the two coastal districts of Karnataka and Kasaragod district of Kerala. As per the census, there are as many as 18,46,427 of them. Here we discuss the advantages of getting listed under schedule eight and the wider implications of the issue. India is a land of cultural and linguistic diversity As per 2001 census, about 30 of Indian languages are being spoken by over a million people each. Besides this list, around 122 languages are spoken by not less than 10,000 people. There are also 1,599 other languages, most of which are considered as dialects belonging to some specific regions. For quite long, there have been demands to include many of these languages into the list of scheduled languages. List of scheduled languages in India At present 22 of Indian languages are listed in the eighth schedule including Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. Fourteen of these languages were already listed under the eighth schedule when the constitution of India came to force in 1950. In 1967, Sindhi was added. In 1992, Konkani, Manipuri and Nepali were included. In 2003, the four remaining languages including Dogiri, Bodo, Maithali, and Santhali were included. Demands to include more languages under eighth schedule For so long, the speakers of many other languages have been demanding that their language be included under Schedule 8. <a href="https://mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/EighthSchedule_19052017.pdf">As many as 37 languages</a> including Angika, Banjara, Bazika, Bhojpuri, Bhoti, Bhotia, Bundelkhandi, Chhattisgarhi, Dhatki, Garhwali (Pahari), Gondi, Gujjari, Ho, Kachachhi, Kamtapuri, Karbi, Khasi, Kodava (Coorg), Kok Barak, Kumaoni, Kurak, Kurmail, Lepcha, Limbu, Mizo, Magahi, Mundari, Nagpuri, Nicobarese, Himachali, Pali, Rajasthani, Sambalpuri, Shaurseni, Siraiki, Tenyidi, and Tulu -- are currently want the government to include them under schedule eight. Benefits of getting included under the eighth schedule When a language gets scheduled status in India, it comes to enjoy some inevitable advantages. Some of the significant advantages enjoyed by scheduled languages include <ul><li>It will become mandatory for the government to spare the efforts to develop the scheduled language so that it grows and evolves into an effective means of communication.</li><li>A scheduled language will come to be considered as an official language of the nation.</li><li>When included in the eighth schedule, Sahitya Academy will start recognizing the language and the books of the language will be translated in other languages recognized in India. </li><li>MPs and MLAs can start converse in this language in state assemblies and parliament. </li><li>Candidates will be able to write the competitive exams like Civil Services Exams conducted in the All India level in a scheduled language.</li><li>Including a language under schedule eight will place it on equal footing with other official languages which will provide equal status and opportunity to the said language.</li></ul>Wider implications to discuss As per the constitution, it is mandatory for the UPSC to include scheduled language as one of the qualifying papers - in addition to English. The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) must start including the scheduled language to talk of the denomination in currency notes. Therefore, there have also been some practical administrative difficulties noticed in listing more languages under schedule eight. However, India is a country of diverse languages and cultures and the constitution is committed to protecting and promoting the equality of status and opportunity to all people and all languages. The republic cannot turn a deaf ear to the demands mounting up from the speakers of the languages spoken by minority.

Tulu language: Demands On The Rise To Include More Languages Like Tulu In Eighth Schedule

It is a unique product that groups letters according to phonetics which makes it highly intuitive and user friendly. It is available in both, hardware and software and it is entirely made in <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword>. It is available in two colours, black and blue, and will cost about ₹1,900, if you pre order it. The keyboard is compatible with all the devices and is available in multiple languages including Devanagari, Kannada, Gujarati, Gurumukhi, Malayalam, Tulu and Oriya. Once the user knows any one of these languages, the keyboard allows the user to type in their mother tongue and has the ability to change the typed alphabets into about seven Indian languages by just using a switch on the keyboard. It will soon be available in Brahmi-based foreign languages too, including Malay, Sinhalese, and Nepalese. “My mother tongue is Tulu. That script got lost in 1840, within 20 years of its origin, due to the introduction of Kannada typeset. I was able to revive it from the palm scripts and now, I have made a keyboard in my mother tongue,” Prasad told Business Insider. Prasad has been working on this keyboard since 2009. “My everything, I left behind,” he said. “It was in December when I thought - what am I doing?! None of the marketing agencies took our product because it was too big, with too many languages,” he added. Prasad earlier had plans of making a square keyboard that could be used with a single hand, since he believed it was more beneficial. However, since people are not used to it, he changed his keyboard accordingly.

 The placing of alphabets on the desi keyboard was done by Dr Sastry based on phonetics. Sastry was a linguistic teacher at the Hindu University of America where Prasad was volunteering. They both observed how difficult it is for Indian students in USA to learn their native languages and they tried to understand why it was so. When they saw that it was the Qwerty keyboard that was making them learn their own language through English, they decided to make a desi version. Sastry developed nine combinations of swara-vyanjanas based on how they are spoken and strategically placed them on the keyboard. “The Qwerty keyboard is spelling based but ours is pronunciation based, which makes it even more suitable to the Indian languages,” Sastry told Business Insider. “I have been working on it since 2004. I am stressing on the fact that we do not need the English language to type our own languages on a keyboard,” Sastry added. The keyboard also has some ancient alphabets from Indian languages that are not used anymore and have been lost in time. The English language has about half the alphabets that Indian languages have. Therefore, this desi keyboard also has more keys on it. KaNaada has received funding from several associations like Kannada Praadhikaara and Government of Karnataka, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Centre of Excellence, IISc. They received their US patent in 2017 and are hoping to get the Indian one soon. The keyboard was first introduced to the Indian children in a Kannada class in the US. When Prasad felt confident about how comfortable the students were with it, he then introduced it in India. While children get really comfortable with it, adults find it difficult since they are used to the qwerty keyboard. Prasad is planning to create another keyboard which is ergonomically similar. He is also planning to design his product in such manner that the same keyboard can also be used by the visually impaired. “The visually impaired do not want to be treated differently. They don’t like it,” he pointed out. And to make things work faster, Prasad has a team in place in his Kanaada Phonetics Private Limited, which is not even one year old yet. Prasad believes that “the digital world might be the key to enable our languages and also co-exist with English and others” and this may happen if the children can use this keyboard to learn and take forward the languages. Prasad’s team has been able to install the keyboard along with computers in many rural schools. Some of the schools where his team got to work at had never even seen a computer before. A lot of volunteers from NGOs and students from overseas, working under the Youth Ambassador programme, helped Prasad and his team put things in place for a project that they believe will help Indian children connect with their counterparts from across the world. “The project was completed exactly a year after I came to India. And my favourite part is that my father, who passed away three months ago, wanted it installed in schools and we managed to do what he wanted,” Prasad said.

This keyboard is meant specifically for Indian languages

TULU, a year-old Israeli startup, offers a solution: trading ownership of household items for rental. TULU partners with landlords to provide anything from folding chairs to VR headsets for rent from a room that's accessible with an app.TULU said it has launched in a New York building, its first outside of Tel Aviv, Israel. The company wants to expand to 40 buildings in New York by March, cofounder and CMO Yael Shemer said. Shemer noted that scooter startups <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-york-may-legalize-e-scooters-lime-new-model-2019-1">Lime</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bird-scooters-lost-100-million-q1-wants-raise-more-report-2019-7">Bird</a> were major influences, while <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lyft-citi-bike-expands-bronx-amid-spate-nyc-bike-deaths-2019-7">CitiBike's model organized around hubs echoes TULU's rental-rooms</a>."It doesn't make sense for everyone to own a drill, vacuum, iron or printer. We don't want to waste money and don't have room to store them," Shemer said. TULU's first New York location is in Oskar, a 164-unit rental building on the border of Hell's Kitchen and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/most-expensive-nyc-neighborhood-hudson-yards-2019-10">Hudson Yards</a> operated by the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/r-update-1-new-yorks-moinian-group-launches-tower-in-hudson-yards-2017-11">Moinian Group</a>. The room is accessible around the clock, and tenants in the building can rent items for a few dollars an hour. There is no membership cost other than renting in the building, but users can purchase a daily pass, and a subscription for unlimited use is in the works. To be sure, some apartment buildings already offer chairs and tables for tenants when they have a party or event, and the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-rise-of-rental-good-for-retail-rest-of-us-2019-9">rental model has been gaining popularity in retail products</a>. Both Lowes and Home Depot offer power tool rentals, while other companies provide carpet cleaner and wet-dry vacuum rentals. Where TULU separates itself is that it is on-demand, in a tenant's building, and focused exclusively on household items - think the newest model of Dyson instead of an industrial wet/dry vacuum.Coliving, or <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/co-living-increasing-expensive-cities-old-concept-2018-9">residential rentals that trade private living space for shared common areas and more amenities than typical apartments</a>, is also attempting to tackle increased density by sharing between tenants. Two of the largest European coliving companies, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/quarters-coworking-provider-hires-ex-wework-exec-rui-barros-coo-2019-11">Quarters</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-coliving-company-the-collective-expands-to-the-us-2019-10">The Collective</a>, have recently expanded to the US. While the phrase "sharing economy" has become commonplace in massive businesses like transportation and real estate, some of the biggest names have had a rough year.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-ipo-happened-worst-possible-time-2019-5">Uber's</a> share price has plunged since the ride-hailing company's initial public offering, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wework-ipo-fiasco-adam-neumann-explained-events-timeline-2019-9">WeWork's IPO failed entirely</a>, as both companies grappled with wide losses and an unclear path to profitability. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/weworks-co-president-highlights-one-major-growth-initiative-2019-4">Coworking has made way for enterprise businesses</a>, turning coworking companies from shared resources for startups to outsourced real estate and facilities departments. TULU was founded by three students of the sharing economy, Shemer, CEO Yishai Lehavi, and COO Itamar Mofaz, who met at MIT's designX accelerator. After developing the product, they moved back to Tel Aviv, and launched their pilot with a vacuum, some chairs, and a few other items. As they grew, they turned their eyes towards New York. "Every big city experience is going through the same fundamental shift," Shemer said, speaking about increasing density and decreasing apartment size. TULU's executive team sees New York, with its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-nyc-micro-apartments-2018-10">small apartments</a> and reputation as the capital city of real estate, as a perfect place to expand. The company wants to add five more cities over the next two and a half years, including two US markets. It is targeting high-density, expensive cities where sharing suitcases and vacuums would open up more space, and has also considered expanding to dorms. TULU is constantly changing its inventory, but a mix of household appliances and leisure products make up the backbone of its offerings. "We want to offer a service that solves problems, but initially not all products are necessities," Shemer said about TULU's VR headset rentals. The company has a warehouse in New York where additional products are stored, and says that it uses demographic data and usage data to determine what to stock in a building. Beyond geographic expansion, the company has developed partnerships with a camping equipment and a home maintenance company, and Shemer said that it hopes to continue adding more partners. In return for TULU paying cheaper prices for products, the company can give detailed feedback on a product's usage and durability in the real world.TULU is also betting that renters will turn into buyers of the items they are already familiar with if they move into more spacious homes. "When they move to the suburbs, they'll want to own those things," Shemer said.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/proptech-companies-that-are-changing-the-financials-of-home-ownership-2019-11">12 proptech startups that have won millions in investor backing to upend how you pay for your house</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-rent-control-prefab-housing-can-fix-the-housing-crisis-2019-11">Developers have zero incentive to fix the affordable-housing crisis.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Climate change is the most pressing crisis for humanity.</li><li>Startup founders and investors want to help find solutions.</li></ul>Climate change is the most pressing crisis humanity is dealing with right now, and startup founders and investors are racing to build and fund solutions.The importance of impact investing, plus friendlier legislation, has fueled the rush to climate tech both in the US and Europe. Celebrities and established venture capitalists are "greening up" their portfolios, pouring billions into a sector once regarded as niche.Leonardo DiCaprio-backed fund Regeneration VC, for example, has handed checks to founders building everything from carbon utilization to rental companies. That meant, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vc-startup-investors-ramp-up-deals-after-summer-slowdown-2022-9">as capital dried up in the wider market</a>, climate and sustainability-focused companies continued to raise throughout last year. Venture capitalists also raised funds from limited partners to focus on investing on climate tech.Globally, climate and clean tech startups raised $54 billion in 2022, according to PitchBook. It is a near $13 billion-drop from the record levels raised in 2021, a year flush with cash and largely considered an outlier, but almost double 2020's $28 billion. Clean tech refers to startups trying to reduce human impact on the environment, while climate tech covers those on mitigation, adaptation, and decarbonization. The sector may not remain immune to the broader slowdown in funding, with early data showing investment activity tailing off in the first quarter of 2023 <a href="https://pitchbook.com/news/articles/VC-climate-tech-drop-2023-startups-founders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to a near three-year low</a>.

The 44-year-old Anju, the only Indian to have won a medal in the <keyword id="6398240" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Championships" source="Orion">World Championships</keyword> with a long jump bronze in the 2003 edition, was named for the award in the world body's annual awards night held virtually on Wednesday. The award is given to recognise a woman who has dedicated her life to the sport of athletics. Anju is the second recipient of the prestigious award, which was started in 2019, after Ethiopia's double Olympic champion Derartu Tulu. Sprint legend PT Usha was honoured by the world athletics body with the Veteran Pin in 2019, in recognition of her contribution to the growth of sport. From 2014 to 2018, a similar honour called 'Women in Athletics Award', which recognised outstanding achievements and contributions made to develop, encouraged and strengthened the participation of women and girls at all levels of the sport, was given. "The former international long jump star from India is still actively involved in the sport. In 2016 she opened a training academy for young girls, which has already helped to produce a world U20 medallist," World Athletics said in a release. "A constant voice for gender equality in her role as Senior Vice President of the Indian Athletics Federation, Bobby George also mentors schoolgirls for future leadership positions within the sport." One of India's most illustrious track and field athletes, Anju said she was "truly humbled and honoured to be awarded Woman of the Year by World Athletics". "There is no better feeling than to wake up everyday and give back to the sport, allowing it to enable and empower young girls! Thank you for recognising my efforts," she tweeted. World Athletics added that her efforts in advancing the sport in India as well as inspiring more women to follow in her footsteps make her "more than a worthy recipient" of this year's award. "I am really, really happy to learn that this year's Woman of the Year Award is considering my name. As an athlete it was a hard journey but I still believe I could reach the level which I deserve. And now it's my turn to give back to our sport," Anju said in a video uploaded on Twitter by World Athletics. "I am serving as senior vice-president of Indian athletic federation (AFI) and my academy, Anju Bobby George Foundation, is nurturing 13 women athletes -- small kids -- and within a short span of three years they will all have already started their journey to the world stage. "I thank all my supporters, all my fellow athletes, coaches, my family, federation and everyone who stood with me during my journey. Thanks a lot once again for considering me." Hailing from Kerala, Anju is India's only medallist at the World Athletics Championships (Paris, 2003), a gold medallist in the IAAF World Athletics Finals (Monaco, 2005). She finished sixth in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens with a personal best leap of 6.83m, but was elevated to fifth place in 2007 when the United States of America's Marion Jones was disqualified for a doping offence. Last year, Anju was elected as senior vice-president of the Athletics Federation of India, the highest post occupied by a woman in its history. She was recently made a member of the Executive Committee of the Indian Olympic Association as Athletes Commission representative. Promising long jumper Shaili Singh, who was spotted and mentored by Anju and trained under her husband <keyword id="12654663" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="robert-booby-george" source="Orion">Robert Booby George</keyword>, recently won a silver in the World U-20 Athletics Championships. Olympic champions Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica and Karsten Warholm of Norway were named the World Athletes of the Year at the awards night. The awards were earlier known as World Athletics Gala Awards.

Indian legend Anju Bobby George wins Woman of the Year Award from World Athletics

Dubai, May 9 () An Indian teenager here has recorded songs in over 20 languages, including Arabic, to spread awareness on the COVID-19, saying music has always been her choice for effective communication, according to a media report on Saturday. Suchetha Satish's songs advise the people to keep distance, maintain cleanliness and practice hand washing regularly, the Khaleej Times reported on Saturday. Satish, who hails from Kerala, released her first coronavirus awareness song on March 16 in English, titled 'Say No To Panic', the daily reported. Since then, 14-year-old Satish, who holds the world record for singing in most number of languages in a concert, has recorded the awareness songs in Malayalam, Bengali, Arabic, Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Marathi, Gujrati, Rajasthani, Sindhi, Himachali, Odiya, Manipuri, Nepali, Urdu, Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Telugu, Kashmiri and Sanskrit. Her songs in Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and Assamese were used by the Kerala government in its 'Break the Chain' campaign, the newspaper reported. Satish, who also holds the world record for the longest live concert by a child, calls herself a COVID-19 warrior. "Music has always been my language of effective communication. With help from my mother Sumitha, I did the lyrics and composed the whole song. My mum helped me with the editing of the video. I took inputs from my father to give authentic information and thus the song was made. The recording was done in my home studio," said Satish, a standard X student of Dubai Indian High School. The lyrics for the songs were penned by her mother, the music was composed by Prashanti Chopra and the orchestration by Denzil Tom, her father told the newspaper. Emirati poet Dr Shihab Ghanem translated the lyrics in Arabic. She said the entire process of making the song took about four days. She said one of the first few songs on COIVD-19 was recorded in Malayalam, which was well appreciated. This inspired her to record the song in other Indian languages. INDIND
