Centre not imposing any language on any State: Union Education Minister

Chennai, Sep 21: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday said the Centre was not imposing any language on anybody.

He termed those who claim that Centre imposes the three language policy on States as “politically motivated”. “We are not imposing any language on anybody. For Class 1 and 2, there will be two language formula.

One will be mother tongue. Here, it will be Tamil language. Government of India’s condition is that you have to teach in Tamil in primary school. You can teach another language that is your choice,” he said.
