Under ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has launched an initiative to promote use of languages other than the mother tongue among the school students.
Students are encouraged to learn at least 100 sentences in an Indian language apart from their mother tongue. Each state is paired with one or two Union Territories and their respective students are supposed to learn about each other’s culture, languages and traditions.
