Madhya Pradesh HC asks for CBI probe into functioning of 35 private nursing colleges

The Gwalior bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court has asked for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the recognition and other issues of 35 private nursing colleges in the state. A division bench of Justices Rohit Arya and M R Phadke was hearing a petition of these educational facilities seeking recognition.

"On Wednesday, the HC bench directed for a CBI probe into the functioning of 35 private nursing colleges that did not have recognition from competent authorities but admitted students for the 2019-20 academic session unlawfully," MP Additional Advocate General MPS Raghuvanshi said, as reported by News18.

Last year, these colleges had moved to the HC seeking help to get their institutes recognised from the competant authorities, Raghuvanshi said. "Dr Jiteen Shukla, Director (Medical Education) of the Medical Education Department, Colonel Sarabjit Singh Kaur, Secretary of Indian Nursing Council and Deepak Purohit, Deputy Superintendent of Police of CBI were present during the hearing," he said.

“The 35 colleges gave admission to students despite not having recognition. These institutes lack infrastructure. Several irregularities in the functioning of the colleges had come to the fore during hearings," the Additional Advocate General said. "The next hearing in the case will be held in January," Raghuvanshi added.
