On Thursday, minister Sarang distributed Hindi textbooks to MBBS first-year students for free at a function held at Hamidia Hospital Auditorium here.
He said, “MBBS 2.0 in Hindi has been started. Under this, translation of second, third and fourth-year books has begun.” The minister said that the BJP government in MP had on December 14, 2021, resolved to provide medical education in Hindi.
