Open more Hindi-medium schools: Mohan Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat favours opening of more Hindi-medium schools than English-medium ones.

"The demand for running more English-medium schools from Vidya Bharati should not be entertained. We can save our mother tongue by promoting Hindi-medium schools," Bhagwat said yesterday, while interacting with managers and principals of schools run by Vidya Bharati, and key office bearers of the Sangh in Mathura.

He said he is in favour of imparting education that protects Indian culture and traditions.

"For Hindus it is a challenging period. It can be countered by associating more people in the Sangh," Bhagwat said on the occasion of silver jubilee celebrations of Sri Ji Baba Saraswati Vidya Mandir.
