Explanation
Roopa's activity—asking children about respect-words in their own languages after exposing them to a Gujarati folk tale—directly addresses multilingualism (बहुभाषिकता). She is acknowledging and valuing the linguistic diversity of her classroom, which is a key tenet of NCF 2005's approach to language education.
