I would like to congratulate the Government of India for coming out with 3 language policy for entire country. Let us look at the challenges and probable solutions for them. Today India has people from states who have migrated across length and breadth of the country. Suppose if we want to teach a child in say हिन्दी, English and any other language that the student wants to persue, are our education institues capable of doing this?
How to address this specific issue. We can easily address this with having digital assets for each language created and stored in our country, with the help of service providers (BSNL, Jio, Airtel, Vi), let us keep in mind to never store our heritage outside our country. The second better alternative is to establish what i call भाषा केंद्र in every state, where every professors from every Indian recognized languages can travel and stay in capital of the state to provide their services. These professors can provide guidence and hand holding during formative years of a child, which can be used for educating other students in future as well. Unless we create space for such a vibrant envirionment, we can not expect our students to thrive.
Third situation is when the student's mother tounge is a dialect which is not having a लिपि, in such a scenario we need to create even better digital infrastructure. Where the professor for such langues (ex. Mythili, bhojpuri, tulu, kodava etc.) can be housed in delhi for extended periods of time, so that these are clearly doucmented and recorded. This will help us Indians to accept and recognize these little known/spoken languages to also thrive. after all we are doing a service to our beloved Maa Bharathi. Jai Hind
