CBSE Issues Detailed Guidelines on Three-Language Policy for Schools
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has finally released comprehensive implementation guidelines for the three-language policy in its affiliated schools, effective from the academic session 2026-27. This move comes after weeks of confusion and even court petitions from parents and students who were worried about sudden changes to their language curriculum.
The guidelines are issued in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023. The core principle is simple: students must study three languages, with at least two being native Indian languages (Bhartiya Bhashas). However, CBSE has been very careful to ensure that no student currently in the system faces an abrupt disruption.
Key Highlights of the CBSE Three-Language Policy Guidelines
Class 10 Students (2026-27 Batch)
- No change at all. The current Class 10 batch will continue under the old two-language system.
- They are not required to study or be examined in a third language.
- This exemption ensures no unnecessary pressure on students preparing for their board examinations.
Class 9 Students (2026-27 Batch)
- Every Class 9 student must now study three languages, with at least two being Bhartiya Bhashas.
- Situation 1: If already studying two Bhartiya Bhashas (e.g., Hindi + Tamil), add any third language — Indian or foreign.
- Situation 2: If studying one Bhartiya Bhasha + one non-native (e.g., Tamil + English), add any Bhartiya Bhasha as the third language.
- Situation 3: If studying two non-native languages (e.g., English + French), special one-time relaxation allows continuing both and adding one Bhartiya Bhasha as R3.
- The third language (R3) will be assessed only through internal school-based assessment. No CBSE Board exam for R3 when this batch reaches Class 10.
Class 7 and 8 Students
- When these students reach Classes 9 and 10, they will study three languages with two being Bhartiya Bhashas.
- Those already studying two non-native languages get a relaxation — they can continue both and add one Bhartiya Bhasha as the third.
- R3 will be assessed internally; no Board exam for R3 at Class 10.
Class 6 Students (2026-27 Batch)
- This is the first batch for whom the three-language policy applies in full, with no transitional relaxation.
- When they reach Class 10, they will be required to appear for the CBSE Board examination in R3.
- NCERT has already prepared dedicated R3 textbooks for Class 6 in 22 scheduled Bhartiya Bhashas, available at ncert.nic.in.
General Exemptions
- Children with Special Needs (CwSN): Exemptions as per the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016.
- CBSE Schools Outside India: Fully exempt from the native Indian language requirement.
- Foreign Students Returning to India: Exempt from Bhartiya Bhasha requirement on a case-by-case basis.
Teacher Staffing Flexibility
- Schools can utilise existing teachers with functional proficiency in required languages.
- They can engage retired teachers or postgraduate language experts.
- Sahodaya clusters (inter-school networks) can share teaching resources across institutions.
- Virtual and hybrid teaching models are permitted where in-person staffing is unavailable.
Exam Tip: Remember — NEP 2020 recommends three languages with at least two native to India. The policy is being implemented prospectively from Class 6, not retrospectively. Class 10 students of 2026-27 face no change. This is a favourite topic for UPSC Prelims and Essay.
Aarogya Setu 2.0 Launched - India's Digital Health Revolution Expands
In a landmark move for India's healthcare digitization, Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda launched Aarogya Setu 2.0 on 29th June 2026 at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.

This relaunch is part of a broader government push to build a connected and interoperable healthcare ecosystem in India.

DRDO Gets Greater Financial Powers - DFP-2026 Released
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on 29th June 2026 released the Delegation of Financial Powers to DRDO (DFP-2026) in New Delhi. This is a major reform aimed at speeding up strategic defence R&D projects, improving accountability, and accelerating the induction of new technologies into the armed forces.
The revised framework grants greater financial autonomy to the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), allowing faster decision-making on critical defence projects. This move is expected to significantly reduce delays in defence procurement and indigenous weapons development.
Key Features of DFP-2026
- Enhanced Financial Autonomy: DRDO scientists and project directors now have higher spending limits without needing repeated ministry approvals.
- Faster Project Execution: Reduced bureaucratic hurdles mean strategic R&D projects can move from lab to field much quicker.
- Improved Accountability: Clearer financial responsibility frameworks ensure transparent use of defence R&D funds.
- Technology Induction: Faster clearance for transferring developed technologies to the armed forces.
- Indigenisation Push: Supports India's goal of reducing defence imports and building self-reliance in critical military technologies.

Importantly, MoSPI has also revised the IIP methodology for the 2022-23 series, updating the base year and incorporating new industries to better reflect India's evolving industrial landscape. This methodological shift is significant for policymakers and economists tracking India's manufacturing sector.

International Affairs - 30th June 2026
India Sends High-Level Delegation to Iran for Ayatollah Khamenei's Funeral
India has announced that it will send a high-level delegation to Iran to attend the funeral ceremonies of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the former Supreme Leader of Iran who was assassinated in February 2026. The delegation will be led by Bihar Governor Lt Gen (Retd.) Syed Ata Hasnain and Minister of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not travel to Iran, citing a packed schedule that includes visits to Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. The decision to send a delegation reflects India's longstanding view of Iran as part of its "extended neighbourhood" and the deep civilisational ties shared by the two countries.
Details of India's Representation
- Indian Delegation: Bihar Governor Syed Ata Hasnain and MoS External Affairs Pabitra Margherita
- PM Modi's Decision: Not attending due to scheduled visits to Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand
- Funeral Schedule: Ceremonies begin July 4 in Tehran; burial in Mashhad on July 9
- Background: Khamenei was killed in an attack by Israel and the United States in February 2026 at age 86
- India-Iran Ties: Throughout the recent 40-day conflict, PM Modi and EAM S. Jaishankar remained in touch with Iranian counterparts

- Hasnain's military background adds strategic weight to India's representation.
Exam Tip: Chabahar Port is in Iran's Sistan-Balochistan province. India is developing it as a counter to Pakistan's Gwadar Port. The India-Iran-Afghanistan trilateral agreement on Chabahar was signed in 2016. Iran is also important for India's energy security and INSTC (International North-South Transport Corridor).
United States and Iran Agree to Ceasefire Talks in Doha, Qatar
In a significant development for global peace and stability, the United States and Iran have agreed to stop strikes against each other, with talks expected to begin in Doha, Qatar on 30th June 2026. This ceasefire agreement comes after months of heightened tensions and military exchanges between the two nations following the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei.
Qatar, which has historically played the role of a mediator in Middle East conflicts, is hosting these crucial negotiations. The talks are being closely watched by the international community, as any breakthrough could reshape the geopolitical landscape of the region and have far-reaching implications for global oil markets and international security.
Key Points on US-Iran Ceasefire Talks
- Agreement: Both sides have agreed to halt military strikes against each other.
- Venue: Talks scheduled in Doha, Qatar — a traditional mediator in regional conflicts.
- Date: Negotiations expected to begin on 30th June 2026.

Indian Financial Markets Show Resilience Amid Global Uncertainty

India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement Talks Continue
India and the United States are continuing discussions on a bilateral trade agreement amid ongoing tariff negotiations. Both sides are working toward expanding economic cooperation, with the goal of achieving a comprehensive trade deal that addresses market access, tariff barriers, and intellectual property rights.
The negotiations have gained momentum following the India-US trade deal announced in February 2026, which saw the US reduce tariffs on Indian exports to 18% in exchange for India stopping purchases of Russian oil. The current talks aim to build on that foundation and create a more robust, long-term trade framework.
