Multi-Lingual Education Program

The National Education Policy recommends Three-Languages Formula at the Secondary stage which includes the study of a modern Indian language apart from Hindi and English in the Hindi-speaking States, and of Hindi along with the regional language and English in the Non-Hindi-speaking States.

Education being in the concurrent list of the Constitution, with the majority of school under the purview of the State/UT Governments, this Ministry has not identified regional and tribal communities requiring multi-lingual education, or the availability of teachers for such programs.

The Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore conducted various programs and developed various materials on Indian languages.

The seven Regional Language Centres provide support to the States and Union Territories of the country in implementing the Three Language Formula in order to promote National Integration through multi-lingual education.
