Prakash Javadekar: No intends to make Hindi compulsory

New Delhi, Jan 10 Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar on Thursday countered media reports on the government`s intention of making Hindi compulsory. He said that no language is being given a mandatory status in the new National Education Policy (NEP).

Taking to Twitter, Javadekar cleared up that the concerned committee has not recommended making any language necessary.

"The Committee on New Education Policy in its draft report has not prescribed making any language mandatory. This clarification is required in the wake of a mischievous and misleading report in a section of the media," Javadekar tweeted.

A media report had earlier said that the government will make Hindi mandatory for students till Class 8 in the upcoming education policy.
