Since Language and culture integrally related to the development and they have to be studied as important parameters in the entire developmental process, and further to preserve the social, cultural uniqueness of the tribes and PTGs form the decaying process of the changing time ; the inception of an Academy was conceived - and in 1979, the Academy of Tribal Dialects and Culture (ATDC) was established by Government of Odisha, in ST and SC Development Department conferring Autonomous statues to the Academy.
