Core Purpose

Indian Nursing Council withdraws recognition for GNM course at Apex College Of Nursing And Research, limiting GNM qualification registration to Madhya Pradesh only.

Detailed Summary

The Indian Nursing Council (INC) issues an order to withdraw recognition of the General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) course offered by Apex College Of Nursing And Research, located in Niwari, Madhya Pradesh, effective from May 21, 2024. This decision follows an inspection report dated February 23, 2023, which highlighted significant deficiencies in the institution's clinical and teaching facilities, deeming it incapable of running the GNM course effectively. Consequently, individuals holding a GNM qualification from Apex College after this date will only be eligible for nurse registration within the state of Madhya Pradesh. The order was issued after the INC considered the matter and noted the lack of response or recommendations from both the State Government and the institution despite prior notices.
