Assam is going to be a laboratory for mother tongue-based education in India. Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday said this while inaugurating the North-East Education Conclave 2021 in Guwahati, He said that all the northeastern states together inculcate as many as 180 languages – which makes Assam, a key state in the region ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), prime ground for implementing new educational measures. Pradhan further said that there are plans to make the state of Assam a “laboratory” for a unique “caste, tribe, and language-based education system”.
The diversity of languages cannot be witnessed better than in our NE region with about 180 languages being spoken by tribes residing here. The NEP has amplified the potential of language in education.
