National Education Policy 2020: Towards empowerment of Hindi and other Indian languages for Instructions

Today the irony is that various important languages of India have disappeared. UNESCO has declared 197 Indian languages as extinct. Various languages are on the verge of extinction. While the National Education Policy opens the doors for the preservation, teaching and promotion of 22 Indian languages of the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, it also gives importance to extinct or protected languages. The National Education Policy 2020 has the concept of preserving important languages of India through audio and video, publishing their manuscripts, preserving them, and promoting them by coordinating with the communities speaking these languages. From the point of view of Indian languages, a major aspect of the National Education Policy 2020 can also be said to be that by linking them with technical and digital means, Indian languages will not only be made coordinated at the national level, but efforts will also be made to promote them at the international level.
