Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Nai Talim was suggested by the Zakir Hussain Committee at Wardha
Statement II: Nai Talim suggested that all education must be in English to make independent citizens
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Statement I: Nai Talim, or the Basic Education system, was indeed associated with the ideas promoted by Mahatma Gandhi and was further discussed and supported during the Wardha Conference of 1937, which was led by Zakir Hussain. So, it is correct to associate Nai Talim with the Zakir Hussain Committee at Wardha.
Statement II: Nai Talim suggested a radical form of education that integrated learning with productive manual work, aiming to develop the whole person, both mentally and physically. It emphasized education in the mother tongue, not English, and sought to create a self-reliant and independent citizen by focusing on craft-centered education. Therefore, the statement that Nai Talim suggested all education must be in English is incorrect.
