Dear Prof. B.S Hothi good evening
i will accept your opinion because we respect ourselves other will also respect us. But we are competing with the world today not among Indians that is one, another in India there are
India has 22 official languages. According to Census of India, the total number of mother tongues spoken in India is 1652. However, only around 150 languages have a sizable speaking population. The Indian census of 1961 recognised 1,652 different languages in India (including languages not native to the subcontinent). so i think it is better to focus on one language.
English is world accepted language, if a person you know English he/she can work any where in the world, so there are ample opportunities.
Who don't know English they need to learn below number of languages.
There are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world today. However, about 2,000 of those languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers. The most popular language in the world is Mandarin Chinese. There are 1,213,000,000 people in the world that speak that language.
So now my question is
Leaning one language is better or learning 6500 languages are better.

LOL....It will be much simpler if the Non-English speaking crowd learns English and integrates themselves into the global economy. This is a much worn out debate over the last several decades and it has not taken even one step forward. But our English proficiency has taken us forward in the global economic stage much furthter.--On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 9:42 PM, B.S.Hothi <bshothi@rediffmail.com> wrote:Why can't we offer higher technical education in languages like Hindi, Bengali, Malayalam etc.?
Why can't we offer medical, engineering, law etc. courses to students in languages like Hindi, Tamil, Bengali etc.? There are a large number of Indians not familiar with the English language. Such courses would help such Indians achieve productive skills which they can make available to non-English speaking sections of the Indian population. If required and/or if they want to, they can take up additional English courses to improve their proficiency in the English language.
The undergraduate courses like B.E./B.Tech, MBBS etc. are not very research oriented and most the of material that is contained in these courses consists of concepts that were established eons ago. It would be helpful to the non-English speaking crowd to at least let them study these courses in their preferred language.
Instead, the states could take care of their own education in their own languages. In universities in Russia, France, Spain, Germany, Poland and many other countries it is quite unusual to have textbooks in foreign languages. People there have successful careers, and many of them never bother to learn English, simply because at some point in the past some people bothered to create terminology and textbooks.
Please think...

Surender Reddy,Dear MTCians,When English is the medium of instruction, one's command over the language will improve teaching-learning effectiveness. Teachers will become better teachers and students will become better learners. A good teacher can influence and inspire his/her students for improving communication skills in English.Please also remember that TOEFL and/or IELTS scores count, when applying for admission into higher studies in foreign universities.Regards,--On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 8:20 AM, Suvarna Shanmughan <suvarnashanmughan@yahoo.in> wrote:Yes English is the main factor which decides your probability of getting in to a job,becoming proficient in as many languages as you can is very goodRgdsSuvarna.SOn Sunday, 20 March 2016 10:08 AM, Prof. Bholanath Dutta <bnath.dutta@gmail.com> wrote:
--Language is a deciding factor in getting jobs. English speakers earn up to 34 per cent more, confirming that students from elite institutions have a better chance than non-English speakers. Only about 20 per cent of the student population can communicate in English, of which only four per cent are fluent. The English language training market is thriving and is set to double by 2015 according to a report by The British High Commission, New Delhi—from US$2.75 billion in 2012 to US$4.65 billion in 2015. Such private organisations offer e-learning programmes, as well as regular classes. "For underprivileged students, the spirit of inclusion isn't there in spite of getting enrolment. They must be given extra help, be it in the form of English training or other ways of engagement. Shortage of teachers in government sector and profit oriented approach of the private sector stops such efforts from materialising," says former Head of the Department of Defence and Strategic Studies at the Madras University, Professor Gopalji Malviya.While higher education in any of the Indian languages costs between Rs 1,200 and Rs 3, 000 a year, in English the amount comes to between Rs 8,000 and Rs 15,000. For many parents, it seems a sensible investment since it mostly guarantees higher wages.There are people like Bharat, from Delhi, who earns Rs 15,000 working as a gardener, but has still managed to send his brother to an English medium college. "I was always aspirational but reality kept my dreams under check. After I dropped out of middle school because of lack of resources to sustain my studies, I began working as a gardener. That day I pledged I would make my brother an English officer."The report says 83 per cent of higher level education students in urban South India study in English medium institutions. The South offers the best opportunities for socially inclusive access to higher education. For example, 22 per cent of Hindu SC/STs who get higher education, get technical education. Likewise, 25 per cent of Muslims who get attend higher education, receive technical education.[Source: The Indian Express]--EDUCATE, EMPOWER, ELEVATEProf. Bholanath DuttaFounder & PresidentMTC Global: An Apex Global Advisory Bodyin Management Education, ISO 9001: 2008Partner: UN Global Compact I UN Academic Impact
