New Delhi:
MPSC: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that all competitive examinations conducted through Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) will be taken in Marathi. Fadnavis on Wednesday announced this announcement while answering a question raised by Shiv Sena (Ubatha) MLA Milind Narvekar in the State Legislative Council. Narvekar said that some examinations related to agriculture and engineering are taken only in English language. He asked why the examinations related to engineering are not being taken in Marathi language.
Books should also be held in Marathi for technical examinations
Responding to this question, Chief Minister Fadnavis said, “These exams are already conducted in both Marathi and English. However, the court ruled in some cases that some examinations, especially agricultural engineering related examinations, should be conducted only in English. ‘
He said, “When the matter was taken to court, a discussion was held at the government level and it was found that the textbooks of these subjects are not available in Marathi. This was brought to the notice of the court and accepted this argument. ”The Chief Minister said that efforts are being made to provide Marathi textbooks for technical subjects.
MPSC exams will now be held in Marathi
He said, “The state government has now decided that even though the textbooks are not available at present, the new education policy allows us to conduct engineering courses in Marathi. Therefore, due to lack of study material, MPSC examinations to be conducted in Marathi will be held with new textbooks.
