The Maharashtra government’s tri-language policy committee on Monday submitted its report to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, which will now be presented to the state cabinet for approval.
While the recommendations on the three-language formula have not been made public, the committee said it has also submitted a supplementary report proposing the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and Information and Communication Technology as subjects from Class 1 to Class 12 in schools.
The report was handed over to the Chief Minister in the presence of School Education Minister Dada Bhuse. Speaking after receiving the report, Fadnavis said, “The Narendra Jadhav committee has submitted the report to the government. The report will be taken to the cabinet for discussion. It will decide whether the report should be accepted as is or whether it needs amendments.”
Committee chairman Narendra Jadhav said the presentation included a brief introduction. Refusing to reveal the content of the recommendations, he said: “It has now become the intellectual property of the CM and the government will present them before the cabinet, where a decision will be taken.”
He added: “In addition to the three-language formula, the committee also submitted a supplementary report on the introduction of AI and ICT from grade 1 to 12 in school education.”
Jadhav said AI is not currently taught at any level in schools and ICT, although part of the curriculum, is outdated. “There are only four countries, including China and Singapore, where these subjects are taught in schools. Maharashtra can have its own curriculum for it,” he said.
The eight-member committee was formed in June 2025 and was tasked with Study public opinion and expert opinions to make recommendations. on the three language policy for schools in Maharashtra. The panel was formed following widespread criticism of the state government’s decision to impose Hindi as a third language in Marathi and English medium schools under the Maharashtra State Board.

The cabinet is expected to take up the report for discussion in the coming days.
