Education in mother tongue initiating new form of justice for Indian students: Modi

On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Akhil Bhartiya Shiksha Samagam at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi to commemorate the third anniversary of NEP 2020. During his speech at the two-day event, the PM expressed that India is now perceived as a “nursery of new possibilities” by the world, and several nations have invited India to establish IIT campuses in their countries.

He further lauded the NEP 2020 for introducing the use of the mother tongue in education, hailing it as a ground-breaking move that brings a “new form of justice” to students in India. He emphasised the significance of this step as a stride towards achieving social justice in the country.

Additionally, PM launched education and skill curriculum books translated into 12 Indian languages at the event as NEP 2020 advocates the use of regional and Indian languages for imparting education at both school and higher education levels.
