TheIIIT-Bhagalpurwill prepare course materials in Hindi language for the engineering students from rural background with less exposure to English language. The step has been initiated following a survey of a section of students facing difficulties in technical institutions across the nation and subsequent recommendation by the Prime Ministers Office (PMO) and the Ministry of Education, Government of India, to introduce the course in Hindi language for at least one year in the higher educational institutions.
It may be mentioned here that the Delhi Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, in reference to Article 343 of the Constitution, had been advocating for introduction of study in Hindi language for at least one year in the higher educational institutions in the country and had petitioned to the PM in March 2021 in this regard.
