Question

Which among the following is the recommendation of NCF 2005?

• A. One language formula
• B. Two language formula
• C. Three language formula
• D. Four language formula

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Three language formula

Three language formula. This approach promotes mother tongue/regional language as the first, Hindi/English/other Indian language as the second (depending on region), and a third modern Indian or foreign language, fostering cognitive growth and national integration. The NCF 2005 emphasizes that multilingualism is a resource and a strategy rather than a hurdle. The formula typically follows this structure: First Language: The mother tongue or the regional language. Second Language: In Hindi-speaking states, it could be English or another modern Indian language. In non-Hindi-speaking states, it is usually Hindi or English. Third Language: In Hindi-speaking states, it is English or a modern Indian language not studied as the second language. In non-Hindi-speaking states, it is English or a modern Indian language not studied as the second language.
