MP govt institute to offer Rs 2L to those studying civil engg in Hindi

Indore: Interested in Janpad Abhiyantriki? Well, that’s Hindi for civil engineering. And in case you crave to study the subject in Hindi language, and can manage to complete the course, Madhya Pradesh’s autonomous state govt institute will offer you a Rs 2 lakh assistance.

In a major policy push to revive confidence in Hindi-medium technical education after the failure of its biomedical engineering programme in Hindi, Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS), has announced a Rs 2 lakh financial incentive for students enrolling in the newly introduced Hindi-medium civil engineering course.

The decision was approved during the institute’s 129th governing body meeting chaired by higher education and technical education minister Inder Singh Parmar.

Under the proposal, every student who continues the B.Tech Civil Engineering course in Hindi till the final year will receive Rs 2 lakh as financial assistance.

The move is being seen as an attempt to avoid a repeat of the institute’s earlier biomedical engineering (BME) in Hindi experiment, which failed to attract sustained student interest despite being launched with considerable policy backing in 2022.

The course has now been discontinued from the 2026-27 session after witnessing poor enrolment and no graduating batch.

During the meeting, Parmar, who is also the chairman of the governing body, said, “The state govt believes that no talent should be left behind due to financial or linguistic barriers. SGSITS has taken visionary steps aligned with inclusive growth. Encouraging technical education in Hindi is not merely a reform—it is a transformational movement towards empowering India at its roots while preparing it for global leadership.”

Apart from the scholarship announcement, the institute also approved the launch of the “Atal Financial Assistance Scheme” for economically weaker students admitted from 2025 onwards. Under the scheme, an annual corpus of Rs 1 crore will be distributed proportionately among eligible students, including diploma lateral entry candidates.

SGSITS director Neetesh Purohit said, “By supporting students financially and promoting education in Hindi, we are building a bridge between aspiration and achievement. Our goal is to create opportunities that are inclusive, meaningful, and globally relevant.”

While officials remain optimistic, the sharp contrast between policy intent and student preference witnessed in the BME programme has raised questions about whether financial incentives alone can ensure the success of technical courses in Hindi.
