Detailed Summary

The Indian Nursing Council issues a withdrawal order regarding the recognition of Deepshikha Nursing Institute, located in Purulia, West Bengal, for conducting the B.Sc(N) course. A notice for withdrawal was initially issued on 09.05.2024 due to deficiencies at the institute. Neither the West Bengal State Government nor the institution responded to the notice or provided recommendations. An inspection report dated 26.12.2023 highlighted serious deficiencies, particularly in clinical and teaching facilities, deeming the institute incapable of running the B.Sc(N) course. Consequently, effective from 26.10.2024, the recognition is withdrawn. Graduates holding a B.Sc(N) degree from Deepshikha Nursing Institute from this date onwards will be eligible for registration only within the State of West Bengal, subject to state government orders.
