Amit Shah praises Shivraj Singh Chouhan for starting medical education in Hindi
Madhya Pradesh was the first state to introduce MBBS in Hindi despite the claim of the National Medical Commission that it is not possible, Union Home and Co-operative Minister Amit Shah has praised CM Chouhan for taking the initiative.
While attending a programme on the New Education Policy 2020 in Bhopal, Home Minister Amit Shah praised Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for launching the MBBS course in Hindi.
Shah was on a two-day visit to the state capital to participate in various programmes, especially, a Central Zonal Council meeting which the Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh Chief Ministers attended virtually as they could not arrive due to heavy rains in the Madhya Pradesh capital.
“The purpose of the New Education Policy was to develop character, empathy, and courage and prepare students to deal with challenges of life. The education should not only for earning degrees and certificates but also to achieve global good. The education could enable India to reach the pinnacle of success and Indian society was looking up to us with expectations and hope to make it happen,” he said, as reported by Hitavada.
The NEP approved by the Union Cabinet in 2020 replaced the 34-year-old National Policy on Education framed in 1986 and was aimed at paving the way for transformational reforms in school and higher education systems.

A 14-member committee was established to prepare the work plan for MBBS Hindi Curriculum. The committee was headed by Medical Education Director Dr Jiten Shukla.
