We are so happy to finally see the outcomes of this participatory study, led in Santali by @prasantahembram, and in Ho by @birua123, who are both content creators themselves. Santali and Ho versions of this article coming soon.
A 2022 study conducted in Ho and Santali, Indigenous languages from India, found that 70.4 percent of creators use their smartphones to create and upload content, though monetizing remains a major challenge. @subhapa #Bangladesh trts.io/3kNv1
