During my recent visit to Delhi, I saw the Assam Association in Delhi
conducting certification classes of Assamese for the kids of Assamese families
there.
Definitely a very positive and commendable step though I heard not everybody is
interested in putting their childeren in those classes.
Thanks,

With English medium education virtually the norm rather than an

Very rarely one would opt for a vernacular school even in smaller
towns. While the importance of English is not disputed what is
alarming is the neglect of the mother tongue.
Can one be as proficient in his Mother tongue if the medium of
instruction in schools is English?
Students of vernacular schools however can master the English language
as they go for higher education. At least our elders did.
Not able to read/write one's mother tongue cannot be a matter of
pride. This trend must be arrested and the effort must start at each
home.
