He said that the UGC is identifying nodal universities across the states to coordinate the process of developing teams of writers capable of writing high-quality textbooks in Indian languages. The project, he continued, is in line with NEP 2020's aim of giving university students the opportunity to learn regional languages.

The Board also emphasized the cognitive benefits of various languages at the foundational period, particularly the mother tongue, in accordance with NEP 2020.
