RE:The three language formuala is the best.

Mr Sharma,

Perhaps you would like to consider situation of a person who gets transferred every three years and the whole family moves. Do you expect a person to learn the language while he is supposed to be working? And what about the children, what kind of academics would you expect from a student who in kindergarten was taught in bengali, from first to third in telugu, fourth to sixth in marathi, and then had to learn hindi as well? All because the parent's job is transferable.

State boards were constituted for teaching and promoting regional culture. Central boards should not be brought under ambit of such schemes wherein medium of instruction keep changing. At least they should have a choice, which language the child should be taught in. It is prerogative of parents and not government to decide language of children and should be left with them alone.
