Union Home Minister Amit Shah releases books for MBBS students in Hindi. Nevertheless, the technical words such as blood pressure, kidney, pneumonia and various other diseases have not been rendered into Hindi; they have been transliterated.
Bhopal: The medical students of Madhya Pradesh will have an opportunity to study their subjects in Hindi. As part of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) plan to impart education in mother tongue as the Left Front government had done in early 1980s, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday released textbooks in Hindi of three subjects for the students of MBBS at a function in Bhopal on Sunday.
The Left Front government, however, never laid stress on imparting higher and technical education in the Bengali language. Only the students from class one to class six were imparted education in the Bengali language.
Shah said that Madhya Pradesh had become the first state in the court to start the MBBS course in Hindi. Shah said in the 21st century, some forces adopted the “brain drain” theory – migration of skilled professionals from the country – but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned it into “brain gain theory.” Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and medical education minister Vishvas Sarang were also present at the function. Shah said that he was proud that the Bharatiya Janata Party government in the state had fulfilled the dreams of Modi by starting medical studies in Hindi. The MBBS course in Hindi was launched as part of the National Education Policy. The medical course will be launched in other Indian languages, too, Shah said.
Now the students of the country will have no inferiority complex about not knowing the English language, he said, adding that Modi had always laid stress on imparting engineering education in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Bengali and other languages. Shah praised Chauhan and Sarang for their efforts to start the MBBS course in Hindi. Sarand said that 97 teachers had prepared the text books. Chauhan said that the technical terms have not been translated into Hindi. Such terms as kidney, blood pressure, pneumonia etc have been transliterated, he said.
