Need for Regional Language

Remove Dilemma:

To remove the dilemma regarding giving preference to English language rather than any vernacular language and let the child think
naturally in their own mother tongue.
Colonial Mindset:
There was a need to change our attitudes, so that when someone asked a question in a class in a regional language, they should not feel inferior.

Benefits:
Subject-Specific Improvement: Several studies in India and other Asian countries suggest a positive impact on learning outcomes for students using a regional medium rather than the English medium.

Performance in science and math, in particular, has been found to be better among students studying in their native language compared to English.

Higher Rates of Participation: Studying in the native language results in higher attendance, motivation and increased confidence for speaking up among students and improved parental involvement and support in studies due to familiarity with the mother tongue.

Poor grasp of English has been tied by many educationists to dropout rates at the premier engineering education institutions as well as poor performance of some students.

Additional Benefits for the Less-Advantaged: This is especially relevant for students who are first-generation learners (the first one in their entire generation to go to school and receive an education) or the ones coming from rural areas, who may feel intimidated by unfamiliar concepts in an alien language.
