Dr K. Kasturirangan, the chairman of the committee that drafted the New Education Policy, on Thursday said that no language is being imposed in the new policy.
His comments come a day after the Union Cabinet passed India's new National Education Policy 2020, in which a mother tongue or regional language will be the medium of instruction at least till Class 5, but also, preferably till Class 8 and beyond.
In an exclusive interview to India Today, Dr Kasturirangan said, "No language is being imposed. Multi-lingual flexibility is still the basis for the new NEP 2020." For more, watch the full video.
