"Madhya Pradesh is the heart of the country and Madhya Pradesh will be the first state in India to conduct this experiment of teaching languages of other states", Parmar said.

"If a student from Madhya Pradesh knows Tamil, it will be quite helpful for him, if he goes to Tamil Nadu.

We have selected 53 schools in 52 districts to kickstart this initiative. In these 53 schools, languages spoken in various parts of the country will be taught.

The schools selected for the new language curriculum will function in the Open Board system, under the Education For All scheme.

Earlier on Republic Day 2022, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had announced that students in MP could study engineering and medical course, too, in Hindi. State Higher Education Minister Mohan Yadav said professional courses too would be taught in Hindi to promote the language.
