Facing strong opposition from educators and language activists, the Maharashtra government has cancelled its resolution mandating Hindi in primary schools. A committee will now review the state’s three-language policy to ensure inclusivity and preserve regional identity.
The Maharashtra government has announced that Hindi will be a compulsory third language for students from Classes 1 to 5 across all schools, including state, CBSE, and ICSE boards. The move aims to promote national integration and multilingual education under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
