Hindi Now Mandatory in Maharashtra Schools: Big Change Under NEP 2020 for Classes 1 to 5!
Major Education Reform in Maharashtra: Hindi Made a Compulsory Third Language for Classes 1 to 5 under NEP 2020
In a landmark move, the Maharashtra School Education Department has announced a major shift in the state’s language policy for schools. As part of the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Hindi will now be a compulsory third language in all Marathi and English-medium schools from Classes 1 to 5.
This change was formally introduced through a Government Resolution (GR) issued on April 16, 2025, outlining the phased rollout of the new curriculum based on NEP 2020 recommendations.

📘 What’s Changing?
-
Until now, Marathi and English were the only mandatory languages taught in Classes 1 to 4 in most state schools.
-
Starting from the academic year 2025-26, Hindi will also be taught as a compulsory subject, beginning with Grade 1 and gradually expanding to Grade 5 over the next few years.
-
This update is a part of the three-language formula aimed at strengthening multilingual learning across India.
🏫 Who Will This Affect?
-
The new rule applies to Marathi and English-medium schools in Maharashtra.
-
Schools of other mediums (like Hindi-medium or Urdu-medium) already follow the three-language structure.
-
The goal is to create a uniform language policy that promotes national integration and communication across regions.
📚 What About the Curriculum?
-
The State Board syllabus will now be based on NCERT guidelines, but with a strong focus on Maharashtra’s local context in subjects such as History, Geography, and Languages.
-
This will ensure students learn with a national outlook, while still staying connected to their regional roots.
🏗️ New Structure of School Education (5+3+3+4 Model)
As per NEP 2020, the school education system will follow this new structure:
-
Foundational Stage: 3 years of pre-primary education + Grades 1 and 2
-
Preparatory Stage: Grades 3 to 5
-
Middle Stage: Grades 6 to 8
-
Secondary Stage: Grades 9 to 12
This structure is designed to support age-appropriate learning, flexibility, and a concept-based approach rather than rote learning.
🌟 Why Is This Important?
-
Introducing Hindi as a third language will help students develop better language skills and enhance their communication abilities across India.
-
It will also promote cultural understanding and national unity, which is a key objective of the NEP.
-
Moreover, this policy opens doors for students in Maharashtra to explore wider career opportunities and interstate mobility.

🧱 Core Principles of NEP 2020
The new education system is built on five pillars:
Inclusiveness, Equity, Quality, Affordability, and Accountability
These principles aim to transform India’s education system into a more student-centric and holistic learning environment.
📌 Final Thoughts
This decision marks a major step towards transforming education in Maharashtra. With Hindi becoming a mandatory language and the curriculum aligning with national standards, students are set to receive a more well-rounded and future-ready education.
