Recently, the Jharkhand State government has released a new list of tribal and regional languages for appointment to district level posts.

A notification in this regard has been issued by the Personnel Department. Along with this, the notification issued on December 24 related to the list of tribal and regional languages for district level appointments has been deleted. Earlier Urdu was included in the list of regional languages.
In the new list of regional languages Bhojpuri from Bokaro and Magahi & Bhojpuri from Dhanbad have been removed.

It is noteworthy that various organizations opposed the inclusion of Bhojpuri and Magahi languages in the list of regional languages in Bokaro and Dhanbad.
