Teaching in MBBS classes of all government medical colleges of Uttar Pradesh will also be in Hindi medium. In a major change, principals and faculty members of all medical colleges have been asked to teach medical students in Hindi also. Not only this, they have also been asked to send an update report in this regard to the Director General of Medical Education every month.
In a letter to all state-run, autonomous medical colleges and officials of King George Medical University (KGMU) and Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS), Director General of Medical Education (DGME) Kinjal Singh said: “A government 31 In the letter issued in October, it has been said that studies should be started in Hindi in colleges and universities under the Medical Education Department.

With this change, medical students will be able to study better, especially those students who have studied in Hindi medium in school. For example, consider this instruction – ‘Before measuring blood pressure ensure the unique preparation or the prerequisite are done.’ It is quite possible that this sentence may not be understood by those MBBS students whose understanding of English is not very good. However, it can be easily explained in Hindi as, “All necessary preparations should be completed before measuring blood pressure,” thus it can be easily understood even by those who do not know the English language.
Professor NS Verma, head of the physiology department of KGMU, said, “Hindi books are available for almost all MBBS subjects. Some are also under review,” he said, adding, “Many countries like Russia, China, Japan teach students in their own language.”
However, teachers pointed out that Hindi has already been the go-to language when it comes to explaining any complex topic in detail in the classroom. Professor Navneet Kumar, head of the anatomy department of KGMU, said, “We explain about 60 percent of the study material in Hindi only. “This helps students understand what we are actually teaching.”
Professor Anoop Verma, head of the department of forensic medicine and toxicology, said, “Some of the Hindi books being used to teach intermediate students are good. We use them to explain technical terms to our students in simple language in Hindi.”
