Bhopal/Jabalpur: The Madhya Pradesh high court on Friday asked the MP Nursing Registration Council (MPNRC) to submit an update on transferring students from nursing colleges found unfit to operate following a court-ordered CBI probe. 







It also sought details of the process and asked petitioners to submit their objections. HC had ordered a CBI inquiry into all 695 nursing colleges in the state after a public interest petition by Vishal Baghel of the Law Students’ Association alleged inadequate infrastructure and staff. The CBI found only 156 colleges fit to operate, while another 89 were allowed to continue after rectifying shortcomings. 

HC subsequently ordered students from unfit colleges to be shifted to fit institutions. During Friday’s hearing, Baghel and his counsel, Alok Bagrecha, said transfers should consider students’ convenience, college preferences, fees and available facilities. They also suggested using bank guarantees pledged by unfit colleges to support transferred students. A bench of Justices Anand Pathak and BP Sharma directed the council and petitioners to prepare a revised transfer plan for the next hearing on Nov 3.
