MBBS syllabus in Hindi...
On october 16, Union home minister Amit Shah will release country’s first MBBS syllabus in Hindi for students as part of the Madhya Pradesh government’s initiate to teach higher education subjects in Hindi as part of “ease of education” initiative
According to state government officials, Shah will launch three MBBS syllabus books for first year of MBBS, thus initiating learning medical science in Hindi.
The books, they said, will have scientific biological terms written in Devanagari script and explanations in Hindi.
“The books are sort of Hinglish in Devanagari script not to stigmatise the MBBS degree,” said Madhya Pradesh medical education minister Vishwas Sarang.
The books will be introduced in state medical colleges from the current academic year for students.
Officials said the students will be able to take exams in Hinglish and will get a degree which will not mention medium of education according to National Medical Commission Act.
“As the NMC Act says the medium of medical education should be English only, the MP government is introducing these books as complementary for learning,” a government official said.
According to the statement, Indian Medical Association (IMA) leader Dr Sudeep Pathak said, “The concept is good to help Hindi medium students but at the higher level, it is impossible to translate all the books. A popular book named Harrison is like a bible for medical students and translating every word of it is practically impossible.”
