Further told that the central government is giving special importance to the Hindi language, in view of this, this decision has been taken.
Two medical colleges of Rajasthan implement
The Rajasthan government has decided to implement it in a phased manner, under which two medical colleges of the state will change the language of study from English to Hindi language from this year’s academic session. Let us tell you that the names of these colleges are Sampurnanand Medical College of Jodhpur and Medical College of Barmer affiliated to Marwar Medical University.
MBBS implemented in Hindi in Chhattisgarh too
Chhattisgarh has also announced that the new changes will be done from the 2024-25 session. The decision has been taken to provide benefits to students who mostly come from Hindi medium schools and face difficulties in medical courses due to the language barrier. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai said, ‘Studying in Hindi will strengthen their fundamentals, help them develop a deeper understanding of the subject and make them better doctors.
Language medium option will be given
Medical aspirants will have the option to choose their preferred language. The introduction of Hindi in medical education was also part of the state budget.
Studies already started in these states
It is worth noting that the announcement to study MBBS course in Hindi for Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand was made last year. Also, this happened after Union Home Minister Amit Shah unveiled Hindi MBBS course books in October 2022, which were the first books to be published in Hindi.
At the same time, the Bihar government had also said in July that Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programs would be available in Hindi language. On July 2, state Health Minister Mangal Pandey announced that from the next session, students will be able to study MBBS in Hindi.
