Deputy Speaker Jagdeep Dhankhar said that there is no country in the world that can match India. If we talk about the richness of language, we are a unique nation. We have many languages. As the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, I got the opportunity that our members can speak 22 different languages. They did not let go of this opportunity. When I listen to them giving a speech in their language, I do listen to the translation, but their body language itself tells me what they are saying. I can understand what they are saying, they are the best. Therefore, after three decades, a very big revolutionary step has come in this country. That is the National Education Policy. In this, a lot of emphasis has been given on the mother tongue.
Jagdeep Dhankhar spoke on the occasion of International Literacy Day
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar further said that mother tongue is different because it is the language in which we dream. I appeal to those states which have not adopted the National Education Policy to reconsider it and think again because this policy is a game changer. Vice President Dhankhar made this appeal while presiding over a program organized in New Delhi on the occasion of International Literacy Day. On this occasion, he called upon the countrymen to take a resolution under which all educated people should work to teach at least one illiterate person.

Mention of the peacock as a comment on the education system
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that when he became an MP for the first time, India's economy was smaller than the city of London. Today our economy is bigger than the whole of England. When the peacock dances, we are happy, but when the peacock looks at its feet, it sheds tears. This little deficiency in education, these are the feet of the peacock, we should resolve to remove this deficiency. He also described the new National Education Policy as a revolutionary step. The Vice President said that this revolutionary step has been taken after three decades in the country. Our new National Education Policy emphasizes on mother tongue. He described the National Education Policy as a game changer. He says that all Indian languages have been given importance in it.
'Every 6 months we educate one person'
The Vice President said that mother tongue is a different subject. It is the language in which we dream. Our life is spent in realising these dreams. Today, a great journey of 'Developed India 2047' is going on in the whole country. Everyone is a part of it. This is a havan, everyone is giving their own sacrifice in it. One of our sacrifices in this havan should also be that we educate one person every 6 months.
'India is a unique nation in the world in terms of language'
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said that today is Rishi Panchami on Sunday. It has great importance in Indian culture. Rishi tradition means that no matter who is in power, no matter what the governance system is, the sages try to show the right path. This is the basis of our thousands of years old heritage. On this auspicious day, while paying homage to our culture, we should take a pledge that we will educate one person in the next 6 months, so that we can educate at least two people in a year.
The Vice President said that there is no country equal to India in the world. India is a unique nation in the world in terms of languages. MPs in Rajya Sabha can speak in 22 different Indian languages inside the House. When I listen to MPs speaking in their language in Rajya Sabha, their body language itself tells me what they are saying.
