National Flag why only Central Universities, start from schools.

Its good people begin to realise and introduce flying national flag FINALLY...but WHY only Central Universities? It should be started from schools, ALL SCHOOLS.
Am trying to go to the root of all these discussions...when a FOREIGN MEDIUM is used to teach HISTORY/SCIENCE/MATHS wonder how patriotism will taken forward?'Evil' as Mahatma Gandhi said shows its potent in many places.

To offer new and innovative courses including inter-faith studies, citizenship and value education, farming technology and new media and youth.
Medium of instruction to be in English and an Indian language, preferably that of the state the university is situated in.
"I find daily proof of the increasing & continuing wrong being done to the millions by our false de-Indianizing education...Among the many evils of foreign rule, this blighting imposition of a foreign medium upon the youth of the country will be counted by history as one of the greatest.I would not wait for the preparation of Text books. They will follow the change. It is an evil that need a summary remedy." http://www.gandhi-manibhavan.org/gandhiphilosophy/philosophy_education_aspergandhi.htm
Once the great scientist, Niels Bohr, was delivering a lecture. Bose presided. At one stage the lecturer had some difficulty in explaining a point. He had been writing on the blackboard; he stopped and, turning to Bose, said, “Can Professor Bose help me?” All the while Satyendranath had been sitting with his eyes shut. The audience could not help smiling at Professor Bohr’s words. But to their great surprise, Bose opened his eyes; in an instant he solved the lecturer’s difficulty. Then he sat down and once again closed his eyes! He was one of those champions who fought for the introduction of the mother tongue as the medium of instruction....
