Making headway in narrowing down Maharashtra’s three-language policy, the Narendra Jadhav Committee has released a questionnaire for schools, educationists, parents, and students, among others, to gather public opinion on the state’s language education policy. With a total of eight questions and a space for public input, the questionnaire seeks to obtain public opinion on finalising the apt academic age of those between Std I, III, V, and VI for implementing the trilingual policy. 

Touching upon the points of recent debate, the questionnaire tries to ascertain the right language for letter recognition for pre-primary students, the right grades to introduce Marathi and Hindi, the possibility of introducing any other Indian languages and even foreign tongues — all with the help of popular opinion.
