Education in Indian Languages

(PIB): Universities are autonomous in the matter of choosing a medium of instruction for educational courses. Academic matters are taken up by the universities as per their respective Act, Statutes and Ordinances. Further, the colleges affiliated to the universities are required to adhere to the directions of the affiliating universities. Many universities and colleges are already imparting education in various regional languages.

Following the recommendations of the National Policy on Education, the Government has been working towards facilitating the use of regional languages in universities and colleges. In this regard, the National Translation Mission at the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore has undertaken the work of translating textbooks and other books from English into regional Indian Languages to be used by the universities and colleges.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Dr. Shashi Tharoor in Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
