Assam to be a ‘laboratory’ for mother tongue-based education in India

In India, Assam will serve as a “laboratory” for mother tongue-based education: Dharmendra Pradhan is a politician from India.

On Saturday, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan claimed that Assam will be used as a “laboratory” for a unique “caste, tribal, and language-based education system.”

The Union minister said at the launch of the North-East Education Conclave 2021 in Guwahati that all of the northeastern states collectively imbibe as many as 180 languages, making Assam a vital state.
The diversity of languages can be seen nowhere more than in our NE area, where tribes speak roughly 180 different languages. The NEP has increased the educational potential of language.
