Try NowNEW DELHI: The MBBS course in Chhattisgarh will be offered in Hindi from the ongoing academic session, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said on Saturday. Speaking to reporters at his residence on the occasion of 'Hindi Diwas', Sai said his government was happy to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to impart medical education in Hindi which he had expressed during a rally in Uttar Pradesh in 2022.
"Our government has taken a big decision on Hindi Diwas. The MBBS course will now also be taught in Hindi. Books in Hindi will be introduced in the first year from this session (2024-25).
The health department has been asked to arrange books and study materials," he said. The move was part of efforts to "change our education policy at every level from the old Macaulay imperialist education policy", he said, adding the National Education Policy had been fully implemented in Chhattisgarh.
"The move will benefit students from rural areas since they mostly come from Hindi medium schools and face difficulty in medical courses despite being talented due to the use of English language. Studying in Hindi will strengthen their basics, help them develop a deep understanding of the subject and make them good doctors," Sai asserted.
Hindi Diwas commemorates the historic decision taken by the Constituent Assembly on September 14, 1949 to designate Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, as the official language of the Union of India.
