He wrote, ‘There is no question of imposing any language. But excessive dependence on foreign languages limits itself. The new National Education Policy (NEP) is trying to fix it. NEP maintains linguistic freedom and ensures that students continue to learn the language of their choice.
Earlier, Dharmendra Pradhan accused the state government of Tamil Nadu of practicing political interests at a program in Varanasi on 15 February.
16 February: Tamil Nadu CM Stalin said- will not bear threats Tamil Nadu CM had said that Tamil people would not bear blackmailing or threatening. If the state is denied the fund of overall education, the Center would face strong opposition from ‘Tamils Unique Nature’ i.e. Tamils.

BJP will promote TRAI language in 2026 assembly elections
Meanwhile, the BJP has intensified the campaign to promote TRAI language in the state. The BJP is preparing to launch the campaign from March 1 in the next year’s Tamil Nadu assembly elections.
The new campaign will begin under the supervision of Annamalai, head of the party’s state unit head before the 2026 assembly elections. He has accused DMK of being adamant on the old 1960 policy.
This move of BJP is being seen as an attempt to establish a foot in the political scenario in Tamil Nadu. The party has not succeeded in the elections held so far.
BJP contested all 234 seats in the state in the assembly elections 2016, but could not win a single seat. At the same time, in the 2021 assembly elections, he contested 20 seats, with which he managed to win 4 seats.

It will be English or a modern Indian language in a non-Hindi speaking state. If the second and 12th school wants to give foreign language as an alternative.
Hindi second language among non-Hindi speaking states
The emphasis is on studying classes up to 5th and where possible in the mother tongue, local or regional language. At the same time, Hindi can be taught as a second language in non-Hindi speaking states. Also, in Hindi speaking states, there may be another Indian language (eg Tamil, Bengali, Telugu etc.) as a second language.
It is not mandatory to adopt a language
States and schools have the freedom to decide which three languages they will teach. There is no provision to impose any language compulsorily.
