Maharashtra Sets Up Panel To Execute Compulsory Marathi Education Plan

Maharashtra government has formed an eight-member committee to implement the 'mandatory Marathi education' for class 1 to 10. Earlier in June 2020, the government has passed an act to make Marathi a compulsory language across all mediums and boards. Reportedly, the rules will be implemented in a phased manner: introducing Marathi in two classes each year. However, for non-Marathi medium students, three language rule of the Centre will be applicable.
