Indian Budget provides for Urdu Primary Education

Kudos to India for putting money away for Urdu education at the primary level. Primary education in Urdu will help in creating the new generation of Urdu speakers, readers and consumers.

"Central assistance will be provided for recruitment and posting of Urdu language teachers in primary and upper primary schools servicing a population where one-fourth of the people are Urdu-speaking."
