Abstract: In India, there are numerous different tribal groups, and Chhattisgarh is home to many of them. The oldest tribal populations in India are found in this state, and it is reasonable to conclude that the earliest tribal people first settled in Bastar around 10,000 years ago. In India, the term “tribal” is used to describe people who are classified as “indigenous” in other countries. The idea that teaching in the mother tongue is an efficient method of learning arises from the theoretical idea that a culture can only be expressed via the language that serves as an essential part of it. The people of Bastar used to speak Gondi, Halbi as their mother tongues. Gondi is a part of the Dravidian language family very close to Telgu. They use these two languages for intercommunication. Hindi, or Chhatisgarhi is also used by outsiders to communicate with them.
