The Telangana government will soon provide spoken English and communication skills training to MBBS students. This move comes after reports showed language issues causing stress, isolation, and dropouts among students from rural and poor backgrounds. Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha led a recent meeting discussing this step. Many students struggle with English, especially medical terms, making their studies tough. Telangana has 35 government and 26 private medical colleges, with about 9,000 MBBS seats total. A Health official said the Minister stressed, "talented students should not be pushed out of medical education due to language-related disadvantages." The government will offer structured English training for first and second-year MBBS students. This program will be like the language courses already available in nursing colleges, where students learn English and other foreign languages. The review also raised concerns over extra costs charged by private medical colleges for hostel, mess, and library fees. These hidden charges can add up to lakhs yearly. The Minister ordered a special committee headed by Health Secretary Christina Z. Chongthu and KNRUHS Vice-Chancellor Ramesh Reddy to study these costs and explore more financial help for poor and middle-class students. Mental health was another key topic. After some student suicides nationwide, the Minister directed officials to improve counseling services at medical colleges. He said, "Directions were issued to ensure the availability of psychologists and psychiatrists and to develop systems to identify students showing early signs of distress or withdrawal."
