Engineering in mother tongue
Faridabad: The Vice-Chancellor of JC Bose University of Science and Technology, YMCA, Faridabad, said language should not become a barrier in teaching and learning process of students and asked the faculty members to help the students if they wanted to pursue engineering in their mother tongue. Addressing the introductory meeting of the mechanical engineering department, the VC said the National Education Policy-2020 allowed mother tongue to be used as the medium of instruction. The idea is to bridge the gap between language spoken by the student and the medium of teaching. If a student is taught in a language they do not understand, it will be difficult to achieve the target. Earlier, Prof Raj Kumar gave a brief introduction of the department and apprised the Vice-Chancellor about the progress of the newly started BTech programme in Hindi medium.
