Tamil Nadu opposes Navodaya schools, and the court declines to rule on language
- The Supreme Court has given Tamil Nadu three months to identify land for a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in every district.
- On language policy it asked the Centre and the state to keep talking, rather than ruling on the dispute itself.
- Tamil Nadu has resisted the schools because they follow the three-language formula, against its own two-language policy.
- The state has held to two languages, Tamil and English, since the anti-Hindi agitations of the 1960s.
