Core Purpose

Detailed Summary

The Indian Nursing Council, through a Withdrawal Order issued on September 8, 2025 (F. No. 18-14/Govt./2024-INC), has declared that qualifications from thirteen specific nursing institutions in Jammu and Kashmir will only be valid for registration within that State, effective March 19, 2025. This decision, made under Section 14(3)(b) of the Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947 (XLVIII of 1947), follows a notice (no. 18-14/Govt./2024-INC (63685) dated November 8, 2024) sent to the Secretary (Health & Medical Education), Health & Medical Education Department, Govt. of Jammu & Kashmir, and the Jammu and Kashmir Nurses & Midwives Council, requesting recommendations on the suitability of these institutions.

The affected institutions include Jammu College Of Nursing & Para Medical Sciences, Rajiv Gandhi College Of Nursing, Bee Enn College Of Nursing, Florence Nightingale Institute Of Nursing & Paramed. Science, Guru Teg Bahadur Paramedical Institute, Vinayak Institute Of Nursing And Para Medical Sciences, Gupta Institute Of Para Medical & Allied Health Sciences, R B Nursing And Paramedical Institution, Reshmol Memorial College Of Nursing & Medical Technology, Government College For Women, Gandhi Nagar, Jammu, and Bibi Halima College Of Nursing & Med.
