alleryThe three-language formula in NCF 2005 promotes:
AOnly Hindi teaching
BMultilingualism
CLoss of home tongue
DEnglish-only schooling
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Multilingualism
1. NCF 2005 discusses India's linguistic diversity.
2. The three-language formula is an attempt to address its challenges and opportunities.
3. It should be implemented in its spirit, promoting multilingual communicative abilities for a multilingual country.
4. It does not replace the home tongue or limit schooling to one language.
**Why not the others:** Only Hindi teaching, loss of the home tongue and English-only schooling all run against the multilingual aim.
