Education In Mother Tongue:

Earlier, Mr. Pokhriyal had said people should not think English alone would help in progress. As several countries in the world have achieved greater heights by imparting education in their mother tongue.

Speaking after e-inauguration of the new building of Kendriya Hindi Sansthan, Mr Pokhriyal, however, said he was not against English and cited the examples of Japan, Germany, France and others which impart education in their mother tongue.

He referred to the new education policy and said students were free to choose any subject of their choice. While language would not be forced on anybody. Every state would be requested to impart education in their respective state language, Mr Ramesh Pokhriyal said.
