The Government of India has directed school and higher education regulators and heads of educational institutions to make study material in Indian languages available for all courses in the next three years.
- Study material for all courses under school and higher education will be made available digitally in Indian languages included in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution.
- This decision is in line with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) to promote multilingualism in education at every level.
- Content creation in local languages will boost this multilingual asset and pave way for its better contribution to ‘Viksit Bharat’ to make our country as developed nation by 2047.
- The government has been working in this direction for the past two years, with translation of various educational materials being done through the Anuvadini AI-based App.
- In the school education ecosystem also study material is available in multiple Indian languages including over 30 languages on DIKSHA.
- Competitive exams like JEE, NEET, and CUET are being held in 13 Indian languages.
