Sir the text says: 'a section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof'. [...] That amendment is for the addition of the words 'in case of substantial number of such students being available.' The first question that arises in this connection is whether it is necessary either in the interests of a minority or of society that primary education should be imparted through the medium of one's mother tongue. [...] In the course of that Resolution they say: The principle that a child should be instructed in the early stages of its education through the medium of the mother tongue has been accepted by the Government. [...] up to junior basic stage from the age of six to eleven as stated in the Resolution of the Government on the subject and added: The Central Advisory Board of Education in their report on poswar educational development in India published in 1944 recommended that the medium of instruction in the secondary stage should be the mother tongue. [...] In fact a new example has been set by the Congress the other day when the Congresdirected some of the Provincial Congress Committees that the minority havina language different from the language of the province will be allowed to oarrt on correspondence with the provincial Congress Committees in the language of that minority.
