Union Minister of State for Education Sukanta Majumdar on Wednesday told Parliament that the three languages ​​to be learned by school-going children under the National Education Policy (NEP) will be chosen by the states, regions, and students and no language will be imposed on any state.

 

The three-language formula suggested by the NEP has been at the centre of controversy, as Tamil Nadu has refused to implement it, accusing the Centre of imposing Hindi.

 

Centre refutes Tamil Nadu government's allegations.

The Centre, however, has denied Tamil Nadu's allegation. Replying to a written question in the Rajya Sabha, Majumdar said the three languages ​​to be learned by children will be the own choice of the states, regions and of course the students, provided that at least two of the three languages ​​are native languages ​​of India. He said the three-language formula will have greater flexibility and no language will be imposed on any state.

 

Out of the sanctioned 11,395 Anganwadi-cum-creches, 1,761 are functional

The Ministry of Women and Child Development told the Rajya Sabha that out of the sanctioned 11,395 Anganwadi-cum-creches, only 1,761 are functional. The establishment of creches in Anganwadis was announced in 2023. These Anganwadi-cum-creches are aimed at helping in the care of children aged six months to six years.

 

The initiative aims to increase the participation of women in the workforce by providing comprehensive child care services. Minister of State for Women and Child Development Savitri Thakur said in response to a question that 28,783 beneficiaries are getting benefits from 1761 functional Anganwadi centers.
