                                      National Education Policy 2020 : Either one of the mother tongue or the local/regional language will be the medium of instruction up to Class 5 in all schools, the government said Wednesday 29 July 2020 while launching the National Education Policy 2020.  Read along to know everything about the new education policy. 1. Top 10 Points On New National Education Policy 2020 1. The mother tongue or local or regional language is to be the medium of instruction in all schools up to Class 5 (preferably till Class 8 and beyond), according to the policy. Under the NEP 2020, Sanskrit will be offered at all levels and foreign languages from the secondary school level. However, the policy also says “no language will be imposed on any student”. 2. This point is likely to be viewed warily by many after the controversy broke out in June last year after the draft NEP was seen by many southern states as an attempt to impose Hindi on school students. 3. The 10+2 stru

मेरे बारे मे ,आखिरी part -8.

 मेरे बारे मे ,आखिरी part -8 .दुखद घटना के बाद का सोच:-   March 2018 से ही इस मंच के माध्यम से अपनी बात को रखता आया हू. 105 लोगो के करीब मुझे blog को फोलो करते है और  वणॅन समय समय पर करता रहता हू बहुत ही मुश्किल है अपने बारे में लिखना । इसलिए ज्यादा कुछ नहीं, मैं बहुत ही सरल व्यतित्व का व्यक्ति हूं । खुशमिजाज हूं ए इसलिए चेहरे पर हमेशा खुशी रहती हैए और अब मुझे अकेला रहना ज्यादा पंसद है। मेरा स्वभाव है कि मेरी बजह से किसी का कोई नुकसान नहीं होना चाहिए और ना ही किसी का दिल दुखना चाहिए। चाहे वो व्यक्ति अच्छा हो या बुरा। मेरे इस स्वभाव के कारण कभी कभी मुझे खामियाजा भी भुगतान पड़ता है। मैं अक्सर उनके बारे में सोचकर भुला देता हूं क्योंकि खुश रहने का हुनर सिर्फ मेरे पास है। मेरी अपनी विचारए विचारधारा है जिसे में अभिव्यक्त करता रहता हूं । जिन लोगों के विचारों से कभी प्रभावित भी होता हूं तो उन्हें फोलो कर लेता हूं । अभी सफर की शुरुआत है मैने Post graduation ङिगी.हासिल की है और इस कोचिंग के क्षेत्र मे अभी नया हूं। मगर मुझे अब इस क्षेत्र में काम करना अच्छा लग रहा है। और फिर इसी में काम करने का मन
