FPJ adds that the Nursing Registration Council (NCR) had already derecognized these 19 colleges in the past. Apart from the Council, these college did not receive recognition from the Medical Sciences University's Executive Council as well.
As per the latest media report by the Free Press Journal, earlier this year, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) submitted its report on the alleged Nursing Colleges scam case to the Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Submitting the report, CBI mentioned that 50 per cent of the colleges were found to be operating fraudulently.
Further, the report also contained information about 140 out of 271 Nursing Colleges in the State. Taking note of the report, the HC bench had directed the Indian Nursing Council (INC) to match its data with CBI's data and present its report. Back then, the Court had also warned INC and the officials of medical colleges of an FIR in case of any tampering of data.
Medical Dialogues had last year reported that taking stringent action against nursing colleges operating without adhering to the prescribed norms, the Gwalior bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court had directed the State and the Nursing Council on Wednesday to shut down 70 such bogus Nursing Colleges belonging to Gwalior-Chambal region.
Apart from this, the HC bench had also asked the State to conduct a departmental inquiry against the concerned officials who granted permission to those nursing colleges to operate. Among the 70 colleges, 31 belonged to Gwalior, while Morena, Bhind, Sheopur, and Datia lost 16, 12, 9, and 2 colleges respectively.
