The medical education department has constituted a four member expert committee for designing the draft of the new syllabus by studying the Hindi medium curriculum prepared by the MP for the medical colleges.

Taking cognizance of their demand we have decided to provide MBBS studies in Hindi medium also from the next academic session,’’ he said.
