This day will be written in history in golden letters," Chouhan said, Speaking to ANI.

CM Chouhan said the Madhya Pradesh government would start engineering and polytechnic studies in Hindi soon.

"We will free education completely from English. Whoever wants to study (in English) can study, there is no compulsion...We will start education in Hindi in six engineering and six polytech colleges this year. It is our dream to start education in Hindi at IIT and IIM in the state."

"We will share the (Hindi medical education) books that we have prepared, with other states. I will meet with the chief ministers of all states regarding this. Whatever we have, we will give to others and if they (other states) do well in anything, we will take from them," Chouhan said.
