Final decision on three-language formula only after consulting all stakeholders, says CM Fadnavis

In a late-night development on Monday (June 24, 2025), Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that a final decision regarding the three-language formula will be taken only after discussions with writers, language experts, political leaders, and all other concerned stakeholders.

The statement is important in the background of growing protests across the State against the State’s move.

A meeting on the three-language formula was held on Monday (June 23, 2025) night at the Chief Minister’s official residence, Varsha. It was attended by Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, School Education Minister Dada Bhuse, Minister of State Dr. Pankaj Bhoir, and officials from the education department.

“After a detailed discussion on the topic, it was decided that the status of all states should be presented for everyone’s understanding and that a comprehensive presentation should be prepared covering all options—especially ensuring that Marathi students do not suffer academic losses in relation to the Academic Bank of Credit under the new National Education Policy. It was resolved that a presentation and consultation process should be conducted with all stakeholders, including Marathi language scholars, literary figures, and political leaders,” a press statement issued by the State government said.
