    Resolution at Wardha Conference The resolutions passed were as follows: Free and compulsory education to be provided for 7 years at a nationwide scale. Mother tongue should be the medium of instruction. Through out this period of 7 years, the education should be around some forms of manual and productive work and for this purpose a handicraft must be chosen , based upon the environment of the child.
