Mathura: 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 here.
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.
