MBBS in Hindi, other regional languages will limit knowledge

MBBS in Hindi | New Delhi/Hyderabad, Nov 20 | The Madhya Pradesh government’s decision to impart medical education in Hindi language may help rural students of the Hindi speaking belt of the country, but will limit their scope for growth and knowledge, feels the doctors.

It may be recalled that the Union Home Minister Amit Shah has released the textbooks of three subjects in Hindi for first year students of MBBS course as part of an ambitious project of the madhya pradesh government to impart medical education in Hindi, a first in the country recently.

Amit Shah also said work is underway to start technical and medical education in eight other languages in the country. He asserted that students across the country should come out of their linguistic inferiority complex and showcase their abilities in their language.

According to Dr. J A jayalal, former National President of indian medical Association said that students abilities may enhance but on the contrary, it may deter their growth, what we are talking about modern medicine, it is universal medicine, it is not only practised in India, it is practised throughout the world, if trained in a regional language, you cannot expect to go outside to study and update your knowledge and skill said Jayalal and added that medical education cannot be taught through textbooks alone, it also requires frequently reading international research papers, journals and articles, all of which are written in English.

It will be ok if you are going to stay at a local community level and never connect with the global community, basic understanding can be given in a regional language, but to update skills, it is not going to help. (Maxim News)
