The Tripura Official Language Act, 1964

General19643 sections

This law establishes Bengali and the Kak-Barak language as the official languages for the Union Territory of Tripura. It applies to all government functions, including official records, bills passed by the legislature, and administrative orders. The Act allows the state government to set specific dates for implementing these language changes, ensuring a gradual transition. While Bengali and Kak-Barak become primary, English can still be used temporarily, and the Union's official language must be used for communication with the central government. This measure aims to promote regional languages in administration and governance.
