- Develop and maintain a complete database of the languages of Nepal which will include sociolinguistic information, grammatical information, oral and written texts, and vocabulary.
- Develop a description of the use of mother tongues in education (formal and non-formal) as a means to better understand the development needed for mother-tongue curricula in the national educational system.
