For the first time ever, the country's MBBS programme will be taught in Hindi.
First-year students will be taught anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry in Hindi at each of Madhya Pradesh's 13 medical colleges.
In an effort to start medical education in Hindi in the state, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to release translated first-year MBBS books in Bhopal on October 16.
According to chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, it will alter an established notion.
“This is a step in putting into practice the idea that one can move ahead in life through education in Hindi medium too. It’s the resolve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the medium of education should be in one’s mother tongue,” the CM said.
97 professors and experts from medical colleges made up a task team that was established earlier this year. Before creating a curriculum for book translation into Hindi, they brainstormed for 5,568 hours.
The MP's Education Minister, Vishwas Sarang, has stated that Hindi books will be offered alongside English books.
Madhya Pradesh will launch medical education in Hindi as the first state in the nation. Beginning at Gandhi Medical College, a pilot project for an MBBS programme in Hindi will be offered. All 13 of Madhya Pradesh's government medical colleges' first-year MBBS courses in anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry will henceforth be taught in Hindi beginning with the current academic year. In the following session, the MBBS second year will adopt it, according to Sarang.
Students choosing to take a Hindi course won't have access to any special instruction or facilities.
Only those students who have trouble understanding lectures and books written in English would have the ability to understand the subject in their native language. The classroom, students, and lecturers would all remain the same. Three books that cover the essential subjects in the first year of MBBS have been transliterated using the same terminology as in English, the minister explained.
