After MP and UP, Now Uttrakhand to teach MBBS in Hindi
Dehradun: Bringing good news to medical aspirants passed from Hindi medium schools, the Uttarakhand government has announced introducing MBBS courses in Hindi in the state's medical colleges from August this year.
The confirmation regarding this came from the Minister of Health and Education Dhan Singh Rawat on Friday after attending a meeting with Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya in New Delhi.
He said Uttarakhand would be the second state in the country after Madhya Pradesh to bring such an initiative. It will also help local students cope with the language barrier.

Rawat told PTI that Mandaviya has agreed to formally launch the MBBS courses in Hindi in Uttarakhand's medical colleges before the end of August.
He added that the syllabus for the courses in Hindi was prepared by a state government-appointed committee of expert doctors, who studied the Madhya Pradesh model before finalising it for medical colleges of Uttarakhand.
The Uttarakhand minister said the syllabus was submitted by an expert panel to the Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna University of Medical Education, which has also completed all formalities for its introduction.
It will be a big gift for the students who have had Hindi as their medium of education, he added.
Rawat had gone to Delhi to invite the Union health minister to formally launch the MBBS courses in Hindi in Uttarakhand and attend the groundbreaking ceremony of a satellite centre of AIIMS, Rishikesh, in Udham Singh Nagar.
He said Mandaviya gave his consent to attend both programmes.
