Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur has taken a new initiative in the field of education, which is being discussed throughout the country. Actually, IIT Jodhpur has prepared a new model for studies. It has been named Hindi model, which will make it easier for students of Hindi medium to pass IIT. This model has been prepared under the leadership of Dr. Avinash Kumar Aggarwal, director of the institute, under which first year students are being taught engineering in their mother tongue Hindi. The purpose of this model is to make the language a hindrance, but a supportive medium.
Students of Hindi medium will benefit
Dr. Avinash Aggarwal said that most of the students taking admission in IIT come through Hindi medium. In such a situation, they have difficulty in studying in English -based education system, making notes and working in the lab. This reduces the confidence of students and often lags behind. Keeping this in mind, IIT Jodhpur has developed an education model in which students are being taught in their understanding language.
English is also being noted
Under this initiative, first year students are being taught engineering topics in Hindi as well as English. Apart from this, additional classes are also being run to make them skilled in English. The program was launched a year ago, which has revealed positive results.
This scheme will be applicable across the country
Given the success of IIT Hindi model, preparations are being made to implement it across the country. Dr. Aggarwal informed that this model was appreciated in a meeting of all the IITs in the country and now it is being planned to implement it in 23 IITs in India. Under this scheme, students will be taught in their mother tongue. For example…
The students of Bengal will be taught in Bengali.
Students of Karnataka will be taught in Kannada.
Tamil Nadu students will be taught in Tamil.
Students of Rajasthan will be taught in Hindi.
Students of Maharashtra will be taught in Marathi.
In this direction, the Hindi model has been implemented in Rajasthan, the results of which are said to be extremely encouraging. This will remove language obstacles and students will be able to perform better in higher education by becoming self -sufficient. Dr. Aggarwal said that engineers are being prepared all over the world and those engineers are being prepared by studying in English as well as their regional language. India received the Nobel Prize 100 years ago, after which it has not received this till date because many languages are prevalent in India.
Priority to Guru’s role
Dr. Aggarwal said that the quality of education is directly related to the teacher’s efficiency. Keeping this in mind, Jodhpur IIT has started a special program under which 12th pass students are selected and they are conducted a four-year BSC-B.Ed course. Trained gurus will provide better educational assistance to students from 8th to 12th standard. The goal of this initiative is to increase the number and quality of teachers in rural and semi-urban areas, so that education can be widely spread.
