Lucknow : Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana and social welfare minister Asim Arun lauded the role of the nursing staff members and reminded them to sincerely fulfil their duties while acting as the backbone of the healthcare system. Presiding over a cultural event at Sangeet Natak Akademi, the duo addressed more than 500 nursing students who had gathered to participate in the oath-taking ceremony of Lucknow Metro Institute of Nursing and Paramedics. Actor Rajkummar Rao was also present for the ceremony and reminded everyone about the role of the health workers during the pandemic. While Mahana addressed the large group virtually, Arun distributed awards and felicitated meritorious students. 

“I want to tell you all that the demand for the nursing staff members is growing with time both domestically and internationally,” said Arun. Arun announced that a single-window online system has been created to provide the due scholarship amount to the eligible students.

 “All of you could check eligibility on the portal. The social welfare department assures you of its support right from the time you enrol in a college and get an admission letter,” said Arun. Mahana reminded the young students of auxiliary nursing and general nursing courses that they act as the primary caregivers. Founder and director of the institute, Dr Fahad Islahi said, “We are committed to keeping the knowledge and skills of our students updated and would keep on taking measures to encourage them to perform better on the field.”
