Cong in tightrope walk over NEP's third language formula
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|March 04, 2025
AS tension escalates between the Tamil Nadu government and the Centre over the alleged imposition of Hindi through the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Congress, an ally of ruling DMK appears to be walking a tightrope.
While the DMK stepped up the attack on Monday, saying it would never accept the NEP or any form of Hindi imposition even if the party had to lose power, the Congress has adopted a measured approach: 'Hindi can be learnt by choice but not by imposition'.
The DMK also asked the Centre if it applied the model in any of the Northern states.
Speaking to this newspaper, Congress whip in the Lok Sabha Manickam Tagore accused the Centre of sparking the standoff by threatening to withhold central funds until the state accepted NEP. "Our party respects all languages and we are against all kinds of language imposition. Hindi can be learnt by choice but not by imposition", clarified the Virudhunagar MP.

Adoption agency CEO: Are orphans falling into hands of traffickers?
IN a loaded statement on child adoptions in the country, Bhavana Saxena, Member Secretary and CEO, Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), said, “Is there any loophole in the legal system? We need to find out where the orphaned, abandoned and surrendered children are ending up. Why is the registration in the State Adoption Resource Centre and Child Care Institutions so low? Last year, in India, there were only 4,515 adoptions. It isa low figure though it is the highest in the last ten years. Are there leakages in the legal system through which these children are falling into the hands of traffickers? It is time that various departments work together and fix this issue.”

An Ayurvedic Apothecary
There's a quiet thrill in stepping onto a trail just as the hills wake up. As you begin your trek through Gold Valley in Maharashtra's Lonavala, the clouds play hide-and-seek. A Blue Mormon flutters past, disappearing into the dense canopy. The loud calls of Indian Grey Hornbills invites you deeper into this pocket of the Sahyadri Hills, on Western Ghats.
