Overview

• The government issued a resolution naming six members to the Narendra Jadhav-led committee, including Sadanand More, Waman Kendre, Aparna Morris, Sonali Kulkarni Joshi, Madhushree Savji and Bhushan Shukla, with Sanjay Yadav as member secretary.
• The panel has three months to submit its report under terms set on June 30, which guide a final decision on the state’s trilingual framework.
• The committee will study the Raghunath Mashelkar report, consult concerned institutions and groups, and review how other states and Union Territories have implemented NEP 2020.
• The remit includes advising on when and how Marathi, English and a third language — which could be Hindi — are introduced in Classes 1 to 5 in state-run schools.
• The move follows the cabinet’s withdrawal of April 16 and June 17 orders on early-grade Hindi after widespread protests, with some language advocates and parties continuing to oppose the panel’s premise.
