How doctors, teachers and students are reacting to this project?

Teachers and doctors have welcomed the move to have medical books in Hindi for better learning but are worried about its implementation and outcome. Dr Shankul Dwivedi, member of standing committee of Indian Medical Association (IMA) junior doctors' network said, "The initiative to conduct MBBS studies in regional languages is a welcome step but it raises concerns over mapping the education in accordance with national and international acceptable standards. It will help students to become more patient-friendly as graduate doctors would know the medical terms in regional languages. However it will be difficult to say how these students would match the skills of literature reading and presentation at different platforms, compared to students doing MBBS courses in English."
