Answer: Maharashtra
Notes: The Maharashtra government has recently made Hindi a compulsory third language in all Marathi and English-medium schools from Class 1 to 5. This decision was announced through a new Government Resolution (GR) issued by the School Education and Sports Department. The policy follows the revised education curriculum under the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). As per the Government Resolution, Marathi will remain the first language, while English or Hindi will be the second language based on the school’s medium.
