Maharashtra scraps 3-language policy in schools, to form new panel amid backlash over Hindi 'imposition'
Facing strong public backlash, the Maharashtra government has cancelled its order making Hindi the third language in primary schools and will set up a new committee to review the policy. read more Amid public backlash for 'imposing' Hindi, the Maharashtra government on Sunday cancelled its revised order on the three-language policy and announced it will form a new committee to review and rework the plan. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the decision was taken at a cabinet meeting after strong opposition to the government's move to introduce Hindi as a third language in primary schools. 'In the cabinet today, we decided to form a committee led by Dr Narendra Jadhav to study how the three-language policy should be implemented. We will act based on the committee's report,' Fadnavis told reporters. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'So, we are cancelling both previous orders on the three-language policy. This committee will consult all stakeholders. For us, Marathi remains central,' he added. The controversy began when the Mahayuti government issued an order in April stating that Hindi would be the default third language for Classes 1 to 5 in Marathi and English-medium schools. This was part of implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 at the primary level. Political parties, social groups, and cultural organisations strongly criticised the move. Facing pressure, Fadnavis clarified that Hindi would not be mandatory and that students could choose any regional language as the third language. Earlier this month, the government issued a revised order saying Hindi would 'generally' be taught as the third language. However, the order allowed schools to offer another Indian language if at least 20 students in a class opted for it. Schools could appoint a teacher or provide online classes for those subjects. Despite the changes, criticism continued, with opposition parties and activists accusing the government of favouring Hindi at the expense of regional languages and cultural diversity. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Raj Thackeray, led protests against the policy, urging Marathi speakers to take to the streets. The opposition grew so strong that Raj Thackeray decided to join forces with his cousin, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, to lead a joint protest in Mumbai against the 'imposition of Hindi.'

Ambedkar varisty NEP-ready even before its launch: VC Lather
New Delhi: Dr B R Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) was implementing several key components of the National Education Policy 2020 long before its formal rollout, Vice Chancellor Anu Singh Lather said, asserting that the institution is 'naturally aligned' with the policy's progressive goals. In an interview with PTI, Lather also spoke on student politics, infrastructure development, and the university's focus on social equity. 'We were NEP-ready long before the policy even came,' she said, adding that the university had adopted continuous internal assessment and flexible exit options since its inception in 2009. 'While NEP introduced continuous assessment in 2020, we had been practising it for years. Similarly, the multi-exit system was already part of our curriculum under which students could leave after a year with a certificate, two with a diploma, and three with a degree,' she explained. Lather said AUD was among the first universities in the country to adopt the four-year undergraduate programmes under the National Education Policy (NEP). This year the university is entering the fourth year of the programme receiving a 'positive response' from students so far. 'Though final enrolment figures are awaited, deans have informed us that a significant number of students are inclined to continue into the fourth year,' she said. She admitted that despite the enthusiasm, infrastructure and space remains a concern 'Yes, we face space and resource constraints, but are actively responding. A new building in Karampura with 18 classrooms and two seminar halls has been completed to accommodate this year's students. We are hopeful for timely funding support from the government,' she said. The vice chancellor underlined that AUD's educational model is grounded in Dr Ambedkar's vision of equity and social justice. 'Our focus has always been on inclusion, equity, social justice and gender balance. These are not just words but they are reflected in our programmes and pedagogy,' she said. She further highlighted AUD's fee waiver policy, saying that SC, ST, and PwD students receive full fee exemptions from the time of admission -- a practice not common in other institutions. 'We also have a tiered fee-waiver structure based on need for other students. Nearly 58 per cent of our students benefit from financial support and around 42 per cent of our total budget is allocated to student welfare,' she added. On the contentious issue of student politics, Lather advocated for democratic engagement within academic norms. 'Universities must nurture free thinking. We respect all viewpoints, but any anti-social or anti-national activity has no place on campus,' she said. While some campuses in Delhi have seen disruptive student protests and politically charged clashes, AUD has opted for a more structured form of engagement. She noted that AUD follows the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations strictly and elects student representatives democratically, who participate in the university council. 'Students engage with the administration constructively and directly,' she said.

Opposition slams Puducherry government over NEP rollout, school staff shortage in UT
PUDUCHERRY: Leader of the Opposition R Siva on Saturday lashed out at the BJP-led coalition government in Puducherry, accusing it of neglecting the education sector and pushing ahead with the National Education Policy (NEP) without accounting for local needs. In a statement, Siva criticised the deployment of a single teacher to two different schools in the same week, claiming it compromised the quality of education. He condemned the reduction of teaching staff based on student strength, terming it a violation of the one-teacher-per-class norm. He added that assigning one teacher to both LKG and UKG classes hampered early childhood learning. Raising concerns over the CBSE board examination papers for Classes 10 and 12 being issued only in English and Hindi, Siva said it put immense pressure on students unfamiliar with those languages. He demanded bilingual question papers incorporating regional languages from the current academic year. Siva also opposed the policy of failing students in Classes 5 and 8, arguing it dented self-confidence and increased dropout rates. He urged the administration to follow Tamil Nadu's model of promoting students up to Class 9 and to revert to a locally relevant state syllabus.
