HC orders govt to issue recognition to nursing colleges
16.11.2024 TIMES OF INDIA BHOPAL.
Bhopal/Jabalpur : A division bench of MP high court asked the state govt to continue giving recognition to nursing colleges according to rules prevalent. A bunch of nursing colleges had presented an application, before the bench hearing a PIL relating to hundreds of 'fake' nursing colleges operating in the state, stating that they have been in operation before the year 2013 and they used to get recognition on the basis of affiliation to a government hospital but the MP Nursing Council has refused to give them recognition this year on the ground that only colleges with 100-bed hospitals of their own would get recognition.
In its reply, the state govt said that according to rules of nursing education, 2018, only colleges with a 100-bed hospital of their own were eligible to get recognition of their courses. The bench of Justice Sanjay Dwivedi and Justice A K Paliwal, however, asked the state govt to continue giving recognition to such colleges this year based on their affiliation to a govt medical college. The court further asked the state govt not to make any changes in the rules relating to recognition to nursing colleges till the pendency of the PIL they are dealing with. On an application moved by Vishal Baghel accusing the Nursing Council registrar of irregularities, the court asked the govt to hold an inquiry into charges against it. Baghel accused the registrar Anita Chand of recommending colleges 'unsuitable' to run nursing colleges for recognition.
