Bhopal: In a first in the country, MBBS will be taught in Hindi language.

All 13 medical colleges in Madhya Pradesh are set to have anatomy, physiology and biochemistry being taught to first-year students in Hindi.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to release translated first-year MBBS books in Bhopal on October 16 in a plan to launch medical education in Hindi in the state.

Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said it will change a long-standing perception.

“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.

A task force, comprising 97 medical college teachers and experts, was set up earlier this year. They brainstormed for 5,568 hours before formulating a curriculum for Hindi translation of books.

According to MP’s Education Minister Vishwas Sarang, Hindi books will be available along with English ones.

“Madhya Pradesh will be the first state in the country to start medical education in Hindi. The pilot project of MBBS course in Hindi will start from Gandhi Medical College. From the current session itself, anatomy, physiology and bio-chemistry will be taught in Hindi in the first year of MBBS in all 13 government medical colleges of Madhya Pradesh. It will be implemented in MBBS second year in the next session,” Sarang said.

There won’t be any special course or classroom for students opting for Hindi course.

“The classroom, students, and the lecturers would remain the same, and only those students who face difficulty in understanding the lectures and books in English would have the facility to understand the subject in their own language. Three books of main subjects in MBBS first year have been transliterated, by using the same terminology used in English language,” the minister elaborated.
