Maharashtra ChiefMinister Devendra Fadnavis Thursday said Marathi is a rich language and students should learn it voluntarily.
He stressed on the importance of imparting value education in schools along with regular syllabus.
Fadnavis was speaking after inaugurating a new school here.
In his speech, he asked students to learn Marathi voluntarily rather than out of compulsion.
"Marathi is an ancient language which is rich like other ancient languages," the chief minister said.
Fadnavis said his government aims to provide international standard education in schools affiliated to the state and its affiliated bodies.
