National Education Policy and Indian Languages
The FDP organised by Mata Sundri College and Dr. Hari Singh Gaur Vishwavidyalaya attempted to outline many practical suggestions in the NEP document that was announced very recently. One of the suggestions that is truly the demand of time is to emphasise on combining the technical know-how in teaching and reading and translations to be done from the local languages to other languages and vice versa. Secondly, digital divide should be bridged and languages should be promoted through the use of technological advances. Thirdly, with the promotion of local languages, indigenous knowledge even at the grassroots would be documented and disseminated and many local solutions to burning problems of today like, health, environment, community building etc. should be found within this rich heritage. Fourthly, the proficiency in Indian languages should be made an integral part of employment.
