Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e.1968

The three-language policy in India was formally implemented in 1968 as part of the National Policy on Education. This policy was based on the recommendations of the Kothari Commission (1964-1966).The formula proposed that in Hindi-speaking states, students should learn Hindi, English, and a modern Indian language (preferably a South Indian language). In non-Hindi-speaking states, the regional language, Hindi, and English would be taught. The aim was to promote multilingualism and national integration, though its implementation has seen varying degrees of success across different states.
