As Centre pushes Indian languages in schools, stakeholders say ‘soon, but not now’

‘The literature of the local languages should be made official to ignite curiosity and love for their language. Students should not be discouraged in case they converse in their native language. And, they must not be compelled to speak in English or any other foreign language,’ an expert says.

These words by PM Modi in his 108th Episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on December 31, 2023 made sense. One of the reasons behind some children giving up on studies is the problem in understanding what was being taught in the school using the English language. This is also a reason why the Central government has been promoting the usage of Indian languages in our education system.

However, can it work? Experts have had mixed opinions on it, especially in this day and age of technical advancements, such as Artificial Intelligence.

Proposals for Govt aid: NAAC accreditation, NIRF ranking, 75% teachers as per quota

Colleges will be required to have at least 75% of the total sanctioned teaching posts filled and duly follow reservation policy, the draft states. Not just hired, but the teachers will have to be paid according to the UGC or Central or state government policy as well.

If approved, the draft guidelines “UGC (Fitness of Colleges for Receiving Grants) Rules, 2024” will replace 1975 UGC guidelines that cover all institutions recognised by the commission. The new rules, aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, will be applicable to every college affiliated to universities that are established by a central or under a state act under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956. The UGC has sought comments from the public by March 4, 2024, on this draft policy.

To maintain quality standards across all institutions, the UGC has made it mandatory for colleges to be listed under Section 2(f), which allows implementation of statutory rules across all colleges and holds colleges accountable to the UGC. The draft policy paves way for these colleges to get a 12(B) making the college eligible for receiving grants from the UGC, Centre, and other funding agencies for varied academic and research activities. The 12(B) status only makes colleges eligible for funding.
