GUWAHATI: Asam Sahitya Sabha, the apex literary organisation of Assam, has warned of a democratic agitation if the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) here does not revoke within three weeks its notification slotting teaching of Assamese or any other regional language beyond school hours.
The notification issued by KVS on March 29, 2019, states that the teaching of indigenous languages in Kendriya Vidyalayas across the country would be slotted during the period before or after school hours.
Addressing the media here on Monday, Sabha president, Paramananda Rajbongshi came down heavily against the KVS move, terming the move as a “conspiracy against regional languages” and an “infringement of constitutional rights” of students.
“We demand Assamese be made a compulsory subject from Classes I to X in schools under KVS (Guwahati region). The notification must be withdrawn within three weeks, failing which the Sabha would be compelled to take the path of a democratic agitation,” Rajbongshi said.
The Sabha president informed that it has already written a letter to the Union human resource development (HRD) ministry making its perspective against the KVS move clear and seeking the HRD minister’s intervention into the matter and to issue a fresh notification keeping the earlier system of education in KVs intact.
The Sabha further issued a letter to the deputy commissioner, KVS, Guwahati region, categorically stating that such a move to infringe on the fundamental right to learn one’s mother language would not be tolerated and that the notification should be withdrawn within three weeks.
