Education in mother tongue initiating a new form of justice for students in India: PM Modi

Speaking at an event to mark the third anniversary of the National Education Policy (NEP) in New Delhi on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pitched for education in the mother tongue and said through the NEP, the country has started leaving behind the inferiority complex generated after portraying the country’s rich languages as “backward”.

Citing the example of Europe, Mr. Modi said education in the mother tongue will do justice to the young population in the country.
