Jamnagar 361005, Gujarat. In the notice issued, the State Government was requested to submit their recommendations to the Council as respects Suitability of the nursing institution. Whereas, the Council has not received any recommendation from the State Government as respects the case of Human Torch School of Nursing. Even the institution, Human Torch School of Nursing has not responded to the notices issued. Whereas, the Council has considered the matter in its entirety.

These are serious deficiencies which constitute that the institution is unable to run ANM and GNM Course. Now therefore, the Council exercising powers under section 14(3) (b) declares that with effect from 22/09/2023 any person holding a recognized qualification of ANM & GNM from Human Torch School of Nursing situated at Mayur Green, Plot No. 6, Opp. Snagambag Road, Behind Patel Park, Jamnagar Distt.
