Supreme Court to Tamil Nadu: "Change Mindset On Hindi" | Mandates Land For Navodaya Vidyalayas

The Supreme Court has issued a key ruling regarding the establishment of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) in Tamil Nadu. Addressing the state government’s opposition to the three-language policy, the apex court rejected Tamil Nadu's plea to recall its previous order and granted three months to identify land for JNVs in every district. Remarking that "it cannot be that Hindi will not be taught on the soil of Tamil Nadu," the court urged the state to change its mindset and prioritize student welfare through federal cooperation rather than converting the issue into a political or linguistic debate. Watch this breakdown to understand the Supreme Court's remarks, Tamil Nadu's two-language policy stand, and what this landmark decision means for education in the state. n18oc_indian18oc_breaking-newsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
