Answer 1

The United Nations declared International Mother Language Day on 21^st February.

Explanation:

21^st February was declared as an International Mother Language Day by the United Nations. Long before this, the founders of the Constitution of India had already given top priority to teaching in the mother-tongue thus enabling the child to develop its full potential. The language policy of India is pluralistic and it gives priority to the use of mother–tongue in administration, education and other fields of mass communication.
