Core Purpose

Indian Nursing Council withdraws recognition of Ekalavya College of Nursing for conducting ANM course, effective from May 21, 2024.

Detailed Summary

The Indian Nursing Council, exercising powers under Section 14 of the Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947, issues a withdrawal order for the recognition of Ekalavya College of Nursing, Gujarat, to conduct the Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery (ANM) course. This decision follows a notice issued on December 26, 2023, to the Gujarat State Government and the college seeking recommendations and responses regarding the institution's suitability, to which no response was received. An inspection report dated March 7, 2023, revealed significant deficiencies in clinical and teaching facilities at the college, leading the Council to conclude that the institution is unable to effectively run the ANM course. Consequently, effective May 21, 2024, the recognition is withdrawn. Individuals holding ANM qualifications from Ekalavya College of Nursing after this date will only be entitled to register as nurses within the State of Gujarat.
