About — Three-Language Scheme
The Three‑Language Scheme is an Indian education policy that obliges schoolchildren to study three languages—typically their mother tongue, Hindi and English, or another regional language. It aims to foster multilingual competence and national cohesion while preserving linguistic diversity. For example, the 1968 policy mandated that students in non‑Hindi states learn Hindi as a second language.
