Dharmendra Pradhan Exclusive | "Knowing More Languages Enhances Employability": Education Minister Countering the Opposition's offensive against the three-language formula in the National Education Policy (NEP), Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has blamed "political positioning" by three states and stressed that NEP does not impose Hindi. At NDTV's Education Conclave, Mr Pradhan was asked about three states -- Tamil Nadu, Kerala and West Bengal -- opposing the three-language formula in NEP. "Three states have resorted to positioning due to political reasons. And the reasons for their opposition are different. Knowing more languages is not a bad thing. It enhances personality and employability," he said.
