Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated February 8, 1956: Multilingual States

Mr. Ashok Kumar Chanda, Comptroller and Auditor-General of India, has favoured the merger of contiguous bilingual or multilingual areas under one State administration, saying that if it becomes a reality many of the problems likely to be created for audit and accounts by the formation of States on a strictly unilingual basis would vanish. Declaring open the Rs. 16-lakh building of the Accountant-General's office in Mysore on February 6, he said that mobilisation of technical personnel on a zonal basis would also go a long way to meet the necessity for the reconstitution of certain technical services on an all-India basis. Drawing the attention of the audience to his recent speech on the future administration of the country, Mr. Chanda said the formation of linguistic provinces, where the business of the States would be conducted in the regional languages, would constitute a problem for the maintenance of uniformity and for ensuring coordination of audit and account functions on an all-India basis.
