Madhya Pradesh to be first state to impart MBBS in Hindi: key details

Home Minister Amit Shah will launch the Hindi versions of first-year MBBS books in Bhopal on October 16.

With this, Madhya Pradesh will inch closer to becoming the first state in the country to provide medical education in Hindi.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, however, believes that the initiative will change the mindset of people, who will see that one can progress in life even after receiving education in the Hindi medium, as well as feel a sense of pride in one’s mother tongue.

The scheduled launch comes at a time when the Chief Ministers of two southern States have voiced their reservations against the purported move of the Parliamentary Committee on Official Language, also headed by Shah, to employ Hindi as a medium of instruction in key institutions in the Hindi-speaking States, and regional languages elsewhere.
