Telanga Kharia Languages and Culture Centre is a unit of Pyara Kerketta foundation which is working for the conservation and development of indigenous and tribal culture and languages of Jharkhand. The protection of cultural heritage and the question of social re-organization is the basic problem of the indigenous people of Jharkhand. Approximately 2 crore indigenous and tribal population of Greater Jharkhand speak more than 15 languages. Some of these languages are spoken by those primitive tribes whose very existence is on the verge of extinction.

Being the victim of internal colonialism, the Jharkhandi languages are going through a period of identity crisis. Since the whole region is facing caste and class conflict as well as exploitation, the local languages have also become the victims of forced intrusions of unwanted elements. In fact the question of cultural identity and existence of indigenous society is deeply interlinked with the conservation enrichment and development of indigenous languages. Thus, the Pyara Kerketta Foundation has taken the question of culture and languages very seriously and has started Telanga Kharia Languages and Culture Centre for the conservation, enrichment and development of indigenous languages and culture.
