Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], February 28 (ANI): Continuing his attack against the three-language policy, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday pitched for Artificial Intelligence and its advanced translation technology, saying that there's no need to "burden" students with another language
CM Stalin emphasised, "True progress lies in innovation, not linguistic imposition."
He claimed that BJP leaders are advocating by arguing its 'crucial' need for day to day life in North India when in fact they can be solved with AI.
"BJP leaders advocating Hindi insist, "You must know Hindi to buy tea, pani puri, or use toilets in North India." In the Age of AI, forcing any language as a third language in schools is unnecessary. Advanced translation technology already removes language barriers instantly." Stalin wrote on X.
"Students should not be burdened with extra languages. They should focus on mastering their mother tongue and English while gaining expertise in science and technology. If needed, they can learn any language later." Stalin added.
Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi had said that there's a strong demand for implementation of New Education Policy 2020 because the youth feel "hugely deprived" of opportunities
"There is huge demand for implementation of the NEP 2020. The youth of this region feel hugely deprived of opportunities compared to those from neighboring states due to the rigid two language policy of the State Government," the Governor said in a statement posted on X by the Tamil Nadu Raj Bhavan.
He further stated that the 'stringent' two-language policy is "unfair" and that the youth "must have a choice to study language."
"Unfortunately in the name of opposition to Hindi they are not allowed to study even any other South Indian languages. This is indeed unfair. Our youth must have a choice to study language," he said
The Tamil Nadu government has strongly opposed implementing the New Education Policy (NEP) of 2020, raising concern over the "three-language formula" and alleging that the Centre wants to 'impose' Hindi. (ANI)
