Fadnavis made the announcement within the state legislative council on Wednesday whereas responding to a query raised by Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Milind Narvekar.
Narvekar identified that some examinations associated to agriculture and engineering disciplines had been performed solely in English. He requested why the engineering-related exams weren’t being performed in Marathi.
Addressing the question, CM Fadnavis mentioned, “These exams are already conducted in both Marathi and English. However, court had ruled in certain cases that some exams, particularly those related to agricultural engineering, should be conducted only in English.”
“When the matter was taken to the court, a discussion was held at the government level, and it was noted that textbooks for these subjects were not available in Marathi. This was brought to the court’s attention, and it accepted the argument,” he mentioned.
The chief minister mentioned efforts had been underway to make Marathi textbooks out there for technical topics.
“The state government has now decided that even if textbooks are currently unavailable, the new education policy allows us to conduct engineering courses in Marathi. Therefore, the MPSC exams which are not held in Marathi due to the lack of study material will be supported with new textbooks. A structured timeline will be set with the MPSC, and these exams will also be conducted in Marathi,” he mentioned.
This choice is predicted to learn Marathi-speaking college students who aspire to take the MPSC exams however face difficulties because of the language barrier, he mentioned.
