Bhopal/Jabalpur : A division bench of the MP High Court, seized a PIL over 'fake' nursing colleges operating in the state, on Thursday directed the state govt to declare the results of students for the academic sessions 2019-20 & 2020-21. It further ordered that all the eligible nursing and paramedical colleges in the state for the session 2024-25 will be affiliated with MP Medical University. The court also directed that the list and shortcomings found in the colleges declared 'unfit' to operate should be enumerated on MP Nursing Council’s website. 

President of the Law Students' Union, Vishal Baghel, filed a PIL raising the issue of alarge number of 'fake' nursing colleges operating in the state, particularly in the tribal areas, which don't have the requisite infrastructure or manpower to run the nursing courses. In the course of the hearing, the HC ordered a probe by CBI into the credentials of all the nursing colleges in the state and whether they have the requisite facilities to operate nursing courses. The CBI gave a clean chit to 169 nursing colleges, pointed out deficiencies in 74 but said that they can be rectified, & found 65 colleges unfit to operate.

Later, the court constituted a three-member committee headed by Justice Rajendra Kumar Shrivastava, to examine whether the 74 colleges with deficiencies that could be cured, actually do it within the given time frame and decide on adjusting students of these colleges to other colleges in the meantime. The 65 nursing colleges found unsuitable for operation will be shut, & their students will not be adjusted to any other college, said court
