English language from First standard
It is heartening to know that Udupi Zilla Panchayat(Udupi is located in the western coast of India in the Karnataka state) has decided to introduce English as one of the subject from first standard in Government and aided Kannada medium schools of Udupi district from the next academic year.
Introduction of English was necessary as many Kannada medium schools are on the verge of closure in the district due to lack of students as parents are inclined to send their children to English medium schools. Also I feel another reason for the support of this move is that the children belonging to certain sections of the society should not be deprived of learning English only because they were studying in Kannada medium schools. English is a universal language and is a very important for any student's personal ambitions.
I congratulate Udupi Zilla Panchayat and I hope that rest of India will follow this model soon. Afterall, we can not live in an isolated world.!

These enjoin upon a citizen among other things, to abide by the Constitution, to cherish and follow noble ideals, which inspired India's struggle for freedom, to defend the country and render national service when called upon to do so, and to promote harmony and spirit of common brotherhood transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities.
