IN HINDI

Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) will start offering engineering courses in mother tongue for the academic session 2021-22, the Ministry of Education said in a press statement Thursday.
The decision, taken in a meeting chaired by Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, is in line with the new National Education Policy (NEP) that calls for education in one’s mother tongue as far as possible.

GOVT SHORT LISTING INSTITUTES

Sources in the ministry said it was felt that the effort should be started in IIT BHU initially as it has a strong base in Hindi. Names of other institutes will be decided after meeting with officials from IIT, NIT and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) in the coming days.
Since NEP 2020 was announced, Pokhriyal has been pushing for education in regional languages.

GOVT SHORT LISTING INSTITUTES

Last month, the ministry had announced that the Joint Entrance Exam (Mains) will be conducted in more regional languages from 2021. The exam is currently conducted in Hindi, English and Gujarati.
According to the announcement, plans are afoot to offer the exam in “regional languages where entry to state engineering colleges is decided based on an examination conducted in regional language”.
