Identifying this power, PM Modi has laid emphasis on youth in all fields." He further said, "Mother tongue and local language have been given importance in the new education policy.

Our mother tongue is the language of our 'mind'.

It is not only our simple expression, but also the simplest and most able medium of learning."
