Before starting the language development work in the language community different kinds of language issues have to be discussed well among the community people. A Stakeholders Meeting is the first step of language development works to develop the atmosphere of informed consent on the issue of LEAD (Language Education And Development) work for the respective language community in the presence of the major representatives. Language issues have never been singular and insular. The greater the fraternity developed the better the language issues are addressed. The process of LEAD work is explained here with the community representative. This is a kind of informed consent matter for community work. The program introduction, purpose, and process of the program are informed. Challenges, importance, and practical parts of the programs are discussed in this meeting.
