India Today
Vice President of India M. Venkaiah said that New Education Policy (NEP) is going to follow Mahatma Gandhi's 'Nai Talim' in terms of the mother tongue.
New Education Policy follows the ‘Nai Talim’ of Mahatma Gandhi by giving importance to the mother tongue as the medium of instruction at the school level, said M. Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President during Silver Jubilee Celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi International Hindi University in Warda, Maharashtra.
Naidu said that our Constituent Assembly, after a long debate, accepted Hindi as the official language and also accorded constitutional status to other Indian languages in the Eighth Schedule. Noting that every Indian language has a glorious history and rich literature, he said "We are fortunate to have linguistic diversity in our country. Our linguistic diversity is our strength as our languages symbolize our cultural unity."
