The move was part of efforts to “change our education policy at every level from the old Macaulay imperialist education policy”, he said, adding the National Education Policy had been fully implemented in Chhattisgarh. “The move will benefit students from rural areas since they mostly come from Hindi medium schools and face difficulty in medical courses despite being talented due to the use of English language. Studying in Hindi will strengthen their basics, help them develop a deep understanding of the subject and make them good doctors,” Sai asserted.
