The central government has reaffirmed its commitment to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 despite Tamil Nadu’s strong opposition. The state rejects the three-language policy, favoring its existing two-language system. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stated that NEP does not impose any language but promotes multilingual learning with flexibility for states. He criticized Tamil Nadu’s stance as narrow-minded and politically motivated. The Centre made it clear it will not yield to what it sees as blackmail, emphasizing that NEP aims to enhance education while respecting linguistic diversity. Tensions between the state and Centre continue over language policy.
