Why does India need to promote learning in the Mother tongue?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Multiple studies have proved that children who learn in their mother tongue in their early, formative years, perform better<\/strong> than those taught in an alien language.<\/li>\n
  2. UNESCO and other organisations have been laying emphasis on the fact that learning in the mother tongue is germane to building self-esteem and self-identity<\/strong>, as also the overall development of the child.<\/li>\n
  3. Even though our educational system<\/strong> has seen phenomenal growth.\u00a0Over the years, English remained an academic roadblock<\/strong> and also let India’s own languages languish<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For these reasons only, the great Indian physicist and Nobel Laureate, Sir C.V. Raman<\/strong> observed, \u201cWe must teach science in our mother tongue. Otherwise, science will become a highbrow activity<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
