Over 30 Students Opt for Hindi-Medium MBBS in MP, Other States likely to plan
Madhya Pradesh- Around 30 MBBS students have opted for the Hindi medium MBBS programme in Madhya Pradesh (MP) since its launch in 2022. Madhya Pradesh is the first state in India to start MBBS studies in Hindi. The initiative was launched on October 16, 2022, in Bhopal by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
The initiative of the MBBS programme in Hindi medium language was introduced by Dr RKS Dhakad, Dean of Gajara Raja Medical College (GRMC), Gwalior. He said "Only 30-40% of students coming from Hindi medium schools have opted for Hindi MBBS. This has had a positive impact on the overall learning experience as Hindi medium students are more comfortable with the curriculum."
With this, speaking to the TOI, an official from the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), MP, says that “around 70% of students from English-medium backgrounds do not struggle with English lectures. However, the introduction of bilingual textbooks has significantly helped the remaining 30% of students from Hindi backgrounds, who now claim to better understand the course content”.
