Every year, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) holds the Constable General Duty Exam. Exams for the Central Armed Forces (CAPF), including the CRPF, BSF, and CISF, were administered in both Hindi and English. People from different states were putting pressure on the federal government to write the tests in their native tongues as a result.
The home ministry and the federal government have received requests from state governments and political party leaders allowing them to take the tests in their home states' official languages. In a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M.K. Stalin requested that tests administered by the national government be held in all state languages, including Tamil.
Central government exams go against the interests of applicants from non-Hindi-speaking states and favor speakers of Hindi. In order to give youth who do not know Hindi an equal chance to enlist in the military, Chief Minister Stalin pleaded with the authorities to amend the notification and hold the examination in other state languages, such as Tamil. The Central Armed Forces Examination will henceforth be administered in 13 state languages, after the Ministry of Home Affairs' decision in response to persistent requests from a variety of sources. According to the Union Home Ministry, the Central Armed Forces Constable Examination can now be taken in 13 languages, including Tamil. On the advice of the Home Minister and Prime Minister Modi, this decision has been made.
