Das said, Hindi has been left out of languages. In State Government schools, Hindi is the medium of instruction and teaching. The State Government has tried to leave Hindi from compulsory paper with ulterior motives so that local students from the State face problems in clearing state competitive examinations.

The regional and tribal languages which any candidate could opt for state-level examination are – Mundari, Kharia, Ho, Santhali, Khortha, Panchpargania, Bangla, Urdu, Kurmali, Nagpuri, Kurukh and Odia.

Apart from these, the State Cabinet also cleared a proposal by the Department of Personnel, Administrative Reforms for amendments in Jharkhand Secretariat Clerical Service Rules. Under this, it will be mandatory to pass 10th, 12th /Intermediate from recognized educational institutions of Jharkhand.
