Which among the following was proposed by the Kothari Commission with respect to language?

AUse of the mother tongue as a medium of instruction

BUse of Hindi as a medium of instruction

CTwo-language formula

DThree-language formula ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Three-language formula

Explanation

The Kothari Commission proposed the three-language formula for schooling in India.

Mother tongue as medium of instruction was encouraged broadly but is not the language formula named here.

Using Hindi alone as the medium was not the commission's language proposal.

A two-language formula was not what the commission recommended.

The three-language formula covers the regional language or mother tongue, Hindi and English.

The Kothari Commission of 1964 to 1966 shaped the 1968 National Policy on Education.
