- To support the initiative, SGSITS has spent the past four years translating AICTE‑approved textbooks into Hindi and conducting workshops to train faculty in bilingual teaching methods.
Madhya Pradesh’s Shri GS Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS), a government‑aided engineering college, will introduce a BTech Civil Engineering Course in Hindi medium from the 2026‑27 academic session.
Officials said students who pursue the four‑year programme entirely in Hindi will receive an incentive of Rs 2 lakh in the final year.
SGSITS, an autonomous institute established in 1952, currently offers 90 seats in Civil Engineering through the English medium. With the addition of 30 seats for Hindi medium, the intake will rise to 120.
State Technical Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar, who chairs the governing body, described the move as a “historic step” to expand opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds and promote technical education in the mother tongue.
To support the initiative, SGSITS has spent the past four years translating AICTE‑approved textbooks into Hindi and conducting workshops to train faculty in bilingual teaching methods.
Officials acknowledged challenges in delivering technical education in Hindi, citing limited study materials and experience with a Hindi‑medium BTech Biomedical course that failed to attract students. However, they expressed confidence that the Civil Engineering programme will encourage wider participation.
