National Education Policy  

In a significant stride towards promoting education in mother tongues, the Indian government has unveiled a landmark initiative introducing schooling in 52 non-scheduled Indian languages, including 17 tribal languages. In accordance with the goals outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan launched this initiative to give students from various regions of the country access to education in their native languages.

Popular Tamil actor Suriya Sivakumar hit the headlines after he criticised the Centre’s Draft National Education Policy (NEP). The actor was slammed by politicos but the film fraternity extended support

The DMK has appointed a team to review the Draft National Education Policy after it alleged that the allocation of funds in the Union Budget to support appointment of Hindi teachers in non-Hindi speaking states was in "contradiction" to removal of compulsory Hindi clauses.

Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said that it is time to rethink, re-imagine and re-invent the entire education system in India. He said that India is embarking on a major reform process and that the draft policy seeks to layout a path to make quality education accessible to all children and youth in the country.
 

At a time when the state of Tamil Nadu has been up in arms against the Centre after the latter proposed a three-language formula where non-Hindi speaking states were to learn Hindi, Oscar winning music director AR Rahman took to Twitter to post a rather cryptic message

Amidst rumours of a rift between the BJP and the AIADMK, the ruling party in Tamil Nadu has cleared the air and stated that the DMK was indulging in idle gossiping in a bid to spread false information. The two parties speak in one voice on primary intent like patriotism and worship of God, AIADMK mouthpiece Namathu Amma said.
 

The Centre’s draft on the three-language formula was met with strong opposition in the state of Tamil Nadu. However, now the DMK has risen with a demand of making Tamil an official language in Central government offices. The AIADMK has stated that this is Stalin parroting the words and beliefs of MGR and J Jayalalithaa.

Facing opposition from the South Indian states, the Centre revised the Draft National Education Policy and stated that that students can choose any language they wish to study.
