So the following statement makes sense to them now.
“Language (Madia) becomes a major issue in early years of education as it is not just a medium of communication but a link to the entire culture and values of a race.”For the entire article for Madia medium MLE school in early stage in Lok Biradari Ashram School, click the below link.
