Madhya Pradesh to soon start medical education in Hindi

Madhya Pradesh is all to start MBBS study material and lectures in Hindi.

The state government of Madhya Pradesh has announced that MBBS education will be provided in Hindi as well. The announcement was made by Madhya Pradesh Medical Education Minster Vishvas Sarang.

In a press conference, Vishvas Sarang said, "Our government has decided to offer MBBS education in Hindi medium as well. Hindi is our national language and it was being demanded from various sections that MBBS education should also be provided in Hindi. Various researches have also shown that learning in the mother tongue is beneficial and has better results. It is scientifically proven." 

"We have decided that the whole syllabus will be translated without making any changes to it. We have also constituted a high-level committee and held a meeting yesterday regarding the same. We came to the conclusion to translate the curriculum and start the MBBS education in Hindi medium as early as possible," the minister added. 

The MP government had been trying to start MBBS in Hindi since last year but NMC had said on this that recognizing MBBS in Hindi is not feasible.

However, recently, Madras High Court has also supported this attempt by wondering what is the difficulty in making Hindi the third language in educational institutions.

The bench of Acting Chief Justice M N Bhandari and Justice P D Audikesavalu said this while hearing a petition from Arjunan Elayaraja, secretary of Aalamaram, an NGO in Cuddalore district seeking to implement in toto the New Education Policy 2020 of the central government came up before it.
