Overview
- The eight-member committee submitted its findings to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and the government will place the report before the state cabinet for a decision.
- Committee chair Narendra Jadhav declined to disclose details, saying the report is now the CM’s intellectual property and will be presented to the cabinet.
- Jadhav indicated the panel favors introducing Hindi from Class 5 rather than Class 1, noting feedback showed no support for an early mandate.
- A supplementary report proposes adding Artificial Intelligence and refreshed Information and Communication Technology as subjects from Classes 1 to 12, with Jadhav calling current ICT outdated and AI absent.
- Formed in June 2025 after earlier directives were withdrawn following protests, the panel visited eight locations and gathered over 12,000 survey responses before filing its delayed report.
