New Delhi: A parliamentary committee has recommended that Hindi and regional language education should be provided in all technical and non-technical higher education institutions, including the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs).
The Parliamentary Committee on Official Language, headed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, submitted its 11th report to President Drabupati Murmu last month. The President will decide whether to accept these recommendations.
The committee consists of 20 Lok Sabha MPs and 10 Rajya Sabha MPs. Regarding the recommendations made by the committee, its vice-chairman, Biju Janata Dal M.P. Partruhari Mahatap said: We have made several recommendations based on the consultations held in various sub-committees and parliamentary committees.
English is a foreign language. Most of the members said that the colonial practice of English medium education should be abandoned. Hindi and regional languages should be promoted under the new National Education Policy. Accordingly, it has been suggested that Hindi and regional language should be taught in all higher education institutions.
Technical institutes including IITs should follow this 100 percent in non-technical institutes as well. We have suggested that in Hindi speaking states the subject should be taught in Hindi and in other states in the respective regional language. Likewise, we have recommended adding Hindi as the official language of the UN. He said this.
