Scheduled languages are those which are listed in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution and are given official recognition and encouragement by the Central Government. However, all official communication and publication of rules and notifications by the Central Government are in Hindi and English.
Chief Justice of India (CJI), SA Bobde said that people in various parts of the country might not know either English or Hindi and communication by the Central Government in vernacular languages will come to their aid.
