Abstract	The medium of instruction is crucial in transforming education and making it easier or difficult for a student in West Bengal. There is a considerable gap in the attitudes of the students getting the education in Bengali and English languages. The level of understanding among the students differs due to learning in the medium of instruction in international and mother tongues. The study aims to assess the role of mother tongue as a medium of instruction at Elementary level in the academic achievement in West Bengal. This study will also help us to investigate the merits and demerits of the medium of instruction in the mother tongue (Bengali) and English language. Most of the respondents think that intellectual development is more in Bengali (mother tongue) as a medium of instruction rather than English language. It was also found that the English language is the need of the time to cope with international developments in science and technology.
