Ministry of Education informed the Rajya Sabha that no language will be imposed on any state under the three-language formula. According to the Ministry, languages learned by the children will be chosen by the states and students themselves, promoting flexibility and autonomy.

What is three language formula?

The three-language formula is a language learning policy, first introduced in 1968 by the Ministry of Education of the Government of India in consultation with the states. This policy recommends that students learn three languages – their mother tongue or regional language, English, and a modern Indian language.
