The BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh is set to become the first state in India to impart medical education in the Hindi language.
"From this year, MP will become the first state to start MBBS course in Hindi. The books for the MBBS education in Hindi are being readied and the new Hindi-based system will commence from this year. It will be followed by similar Hindi medium engineering education and an identical system for other professional courses. When other nations are using their mother tongues for professional education, why should we remain slaves of English? This new system will help remove inferiority complex among our students from the middle class and lower economic class who come from Hindi speaking backgrounds in villages and towns," CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced on Sunday.
