Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that there must be one medical college and a technical institution in each state which will impart education in the native language. He was addressing a gathering after launching the ‘Assam Mala’ scheme to upgrade state highways and laying the foundation for two medical colleges.
While promising to set up such institutions in Assam after the assembly elections, he commented “there is no dearth of talent in the villages and far-flung areas. He also added that he has a daring dream of each state having at least one medical college and a technical institution imparting education in the local language.
This idea will improve medical services in remote areas as more and more doctors will be able to reach out to people in their mother tongue and understand their problems. The two medical colleges and hospitals will come up in Biswanath and Charaideo districts.
PM Modi had tweeted after the unveiling of the NEP stating that “Taking inspiration from the National Education Policy, it will now be tried to teach all technical courses including medical, engineering in the mother tongue”.
