Along with thinking, the process of revision, research, reasoning, analysis and arriving at a decision takes place in the mother tongue.
He said due to the education of children and research in the mother tongue, the students of India will bring laurels in the whole world.
Union Home Minister Shah said the British did ‘wealth drain’ in the 19th century, in the 21st century they brought the’ brain drain’ theory.

Studying in Hindi will boost the intellectual capacity of the students and free them from linguistic inferiority complex. He said that language and intellectual ability are not related. Language is a means of expression. Education in mother tongue enhances intellectual ability, he said.

It is the day of liberation from the slavery of the English. This work should have been done soon after independence, but is being done now under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that many of our students used to go to medical and engineering colleges to study, but due to English language being the medium of instruction, they could not study properly.
Some people used to drop out in the middle of the session. Many of our backward, downtrodden, poor students used to suffer from inferiority complex over language. Now they will be able to develop their full potential by studying in Hindi language, he said.

People have attained freedom from English language. Now students will be able to take education in Hindi and their mother tongues, he said.
