Maharashtra Cabinet approval to set up 6 new nursing colleges with 100 seats each
Maharashtra- With an aim to bolster healthcare education, the Maharashtra Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has decided to set up six government nursing colleges.
These new government nursing colleges will be affiliated with the existing government medical colleges at Jalgaon, Latur, Baramati, Sangli (Miraj), Nandurbar and Gondia. Each college will have a capacity of 100 students.
The establishment of these nursing colleges is a part of the increasing spread of infectious diseases in the state and the country initiative. Hence, the government is trying to make significant changes in the paramedical curriculum.
According to a Times of India media news report, the estimated cost for the first four years will be Rs 173.8 crore and from the fifth year onwards, an annual allocation of around Rs 14 crore will be provided to these new six government nursing colleges.
