KOCHI, FEB. 15. Nursing students of the TD Road Centre of M.G. University will hold a protest march to the Syndicate and make posters in blood on February 17. The protest is being organised against the University's failure to secure recognition for the B.Sc. Nursing course offered at the centre, representatives of students said here today. The University started the course in 1995 at Lissie Centre. When the management of Lissie Hospital started their own nursing course, the University centre was moved to the new building at T.D. Road. But the Kerala Nursing Council (KNC) has not inspected the new premises and recognised it. The Indian Nursing Council (INC) team visited the new campus in November and gave a provisional recognition for one month. This has expired now, the students said. During the visit, the INC team had given a long list of failings at the centre including top posts like principal and vice principal lying vacant, absence of teachers for post-graduate course in Community Health Nursing, Medical Surgical Nursing and Psychiatry Nursing, absence of hostel and lack of laboratory facilities.
Four acres required
According to the new standards, a nursing college requires four acres of land. Even though officials concerned at the School of Medical Education and the University were repeatedly briefed about the situation, no action was taken. With the final year students about to come out of the Centre by next March, the students are unable to register anywhere as their course has not been recognised by either the KNC or the INC. If no action was taken within a week, the protest will be intensified by including all students under the School of Medical Education, they said.
