Now Medical Education Will Also Be Done in Uttar Pradesh in Hindi

Why In News?

• On October 19, 2022, Uttar Pradesh Director General of Medical Education Shruti Singh said that on the lines of Madhya Pradesh, the government has now formed a three-member panel to present Hindi language textbooks for MBBS courses in medical colleges of the state.

Key Point

• Director General Shruti Singh said the three-member panel constituted by the state government is reviewing MBBS Hindi textbooks on three subjects. These include biochemistry, anatomy, and medical physiology.
• Apart from this, other MBBS textbooks are being translated into Hindi and a three-member panel committee will examine this translation.
• It is worth mentioning that recently for the first time in the country, medical education has been started in Madhya Pradesh in Hindi.
• The director general of medical education said the committee was formed about a month ago and a government medical college in Meerut is expected to adopt these books first. At present, Hindi textbooks will be limited to MBBS students only.
• He said the move will help students, especially those with Hindi-medium backgrounds, to easily understand concepts and processes in their language.
• Nc Prajapati, additional director of medical education, said the panel was not trying to translate medical terminology and delete text-books. It is not possible to translate the entire text, as it will prove to be complicated for the students.
