• Need to get a mother tongue certificate for admission of my ward in school

Hi,

I am a mother of a 3 year old daughter and I am from Karnataka (with Konkani as my mother tongue). My husband is from Maharashtra and is also from a Konkani speaking family. He was born and brought up in Maharashtra for the last 35 years. Now my daughter is seeking admission for LKG in a school which prioritizes admission to families with Konkani as mother tongue.

Please let us know which certificates can be furnished by the parents to depict mother tongue and will be considered as valid proofs?

Else you may make self declaration in the following format: http://ghrce.raisoni.net/admission18/12.%20Proforma-O%20(Linguistic%20Minority).pdf

You will have to give an affidavit on Rs 100 non judicial stamp paper stating your mother tongue and the said documents should be duly notarized by a notary public. Only affidavit would suffice.

Dear,

Only 1 affidavit from your or your husband behalf on stamp paper.

duly notarized with notary public is sufficient for this.

you know konkani then it's a plus point.

I am afraid that there may be no such provision in law for that.

You may produce some bonafide certificate from your native or give an affidavit duly notarized with documentary evidences supporting your statement to establish your nativity and mother tongue.

This is my response to you:

1. You will need to obtain the school leaving certificate from her play school area or your husband's SLC (stating his mother tongue) will also do;
