A multi-lingual society recognises the importance of education in languages. While there are some interventions for appointment of language teachers and promotion of classical languages, there is no comprehensive scheme or language policy and we need to have inputs on this dimension.

Can we make optional learning for other state languages in the state board school education ? Like someone from Maharashtra Learning Language from North East and Someone in Tamilnadu learning Bengali and Someone from Punjab learing Malyalam. Additional percentages can be given for certain proficiency for higher education like sports. This will encourage national integration. And this education can be given using e-learning methods only.

Should happen in 3 layers - Secondary level - An additional language should be encouraged by giving credit incentives to students that can be exploited in higher secondary level. At Higher secondary level, freedom to the student to pick 2 languages should be provided. Credits earned at secondary level will encourage student to continue the language he learnt. At degree level - major and minor method should be followed. Major should be professional courses only, Minor from humanities

Bilingual education is already in place, but lacks quality. Here is where proper learning objectives that can be measured in time be identified and evaluated. Rubrics for "understanding" and communication need to be established for each grade level to ensure higher proficiency.

Global language- English requires improvement. Emphasis should be given for spoken and writing skills. Apart from that one foreign language and hindi are to be taught.It should be focussed on learning of knowledge and not for mere passing of exams.

Sanskrit education is vital- I have learned 5 languages and am currently learning Spanish. Sanskrit base is critical in many levels- linguistic theory, phonology, morphology and other important aspects of language learning are ingrained in this one language. Recent studies in UK have shown the beneficial effects of Sanskrit sounds in the brain- it improves brain function. Basic proficiency in the language to understand grammar, read and write it is sufficient.

English requires improvement when it comes to teaching. More emphasis should be paid on teaching grammar perfectly them literature. By end of the day its grammar which is the key to writing skill. Rest is all just a way to increase the work load. Teaching grammar can be made more interesting with various modes.The ideas are endless.It will require lots of brain storming for the teachers and the students for sure.No fixed sets should be there.Every year some more vocabulary need to be added.

Actually, to be very honest ,we the Indians have completely lost touch with our own language.Be it Hindi or Sanskrit or any other regional languages.We have stopped writing in our own language completely especially who knows English language.The reason is simple,as we don't use Hindi after 10th grade. Only students pursuing Hindi subject tend to follow it up as a subject only for sure. Time to revive in a fashion where children accept it with interest rather then punishment.

Exam policy should be different, There should be multiple choice questions type question paper, So students will free from " mug up and write answer ". They will go iin the details of topics and understand very well Without the tension of exam.

Sanskrit a must from the very beginning.If children can learn their mother tongue at young age in the whom universe so why they cannot learn Sanskrit.It's very important asset of our country.Sanskrit got lost in the race to learn foreign languages by many. Fault lies with our own Education makers who gave more weightage to other languages by ignoring our own valuable past asset. Other countries don't promote other languages as we Indians do.Others are proud of their language and follow it too.
