The task force will be chaired by the Secretary, Higher Education and will submit a report after taking into it consideration the suggestions made by various stakeholders.

In a statement, Pokhriyal said no language will be imposed on any student but enabling provisions should be made “so that bright students are not deprived of technical education due to lack of knowledge of English language.”
