The Madhya Pradesh government would offer the option of studying medicine in Hindi “in the near future”, state medical education minister Vishwas Sarang said on Tuesday.

“We are going to form a committee at the earliest to ensure that medical education courses (material) are prepared in Hindi as well. In the near future, we will start medical studies in Hindi too,” he said on the occasion of Hindi Day.
