Indian Nursing Council withdraws recognition of ANM School of Nursing, Bhagalpur, Bihar, effective 26th October 2024.

Detailed Summary

The Indian Nursing Council has issued a withdrawal order for the recognition of ANM School of Nursing, situated at Sadar Hospital, Distt. Bhagalpur 812001 Bihar, effective from 26th October 2024. This decision follows a notice issued on 20th May 2024, to the Principal Secretary (Health & Family Welfare), Government of Bihar, and to the ANM School, seeking recommendations regarding the institution's suitability. No recommendations were received from the State Government, and the school also did not respond. An inspection report dated 22nd February 2024, revealed significant deficiencies in clinical and teaching facilities, rendering the institution unable to conduct the ANM course adequately. Consequently, individuals holding ANM qualifications from this school after 26th October 2024 will only be eligible for registration within the State of Bihar.
