Chouhan on Saturday said many students drop out of medical colleges as they don't know English. In a lighter vein, he remarked that doctors may write 'Shri Hari' on the top of prescription slips and then write the list of medicines etc in Hindi.

Claiming he saw a student drop out of medical college as he did not know English, the CM said elders must change their children's mentality towards Hindi and make them feel proud of the language so that they accept it easily.
