Perspective: Mother Tongue: Soul of Life | 21 February, 2022

In this episode of the Perspective Prog. based on 'Mother Tongue: Soul of Life'. Mother tongue has a very powerful impact in the formation of the individual. A child’s first comprehension of the world around him, the learning of concepts and skills and his perception of existence, starts with the language that is first taught to him - his Mother Tongue. When a person speaks their Mother Tongue, a direct connection establishes between heart, brain and tongue Linguistic diversity is increasingly threatened as more and more languages disappear. Globally around 40 per cent of the population does not have access to an education in a language they speak or understand. The theme of this year's International Mother Language Day is focused on the use of Technology for Multilingual Learning. According to the Language Census India is home to 19,500 languages or dialects, of which 121 languages are spoken by 10,000 or more people in our country. National Education Policy released in 2020 has strongly advocated imparting early education in regional language or mother tongue.
