- Cprovision for providing facilities for instruction in mother-tongue at primary stage
- Dfreedom of Minority-managed educational institutions from discrimination in the matter of receiving aid from the State
Explanation
Article 350A directs every State and local authority to provide adequate facilities for instruction in the mother tongue at the primary stage of education to children of linguistic minority groups. It does not deal with preserving distinct language and culture (Article 29), kirpans (Article 25 Explanation), or minority institutions' aid (Article 30). Hence it relates to mother-tongue instruction at the primary stage.
