No. 18-24/5428-INC.—In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 14 of Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947 (XLVIII of 1947), the Indian Nursing Council hereby issues the following order:— Whereas, Kalinga Nursing School situated at Nausahi (Near City Clinic) Po – Balia Dist- Balasore, Balasore ,Distt. Baleshwar 756056 Odisha is recognized by State Government of Odisha and Odisha Nurses & Midwives Council to conduct ANM Course. Whereas, a notice no. 18-24/5428-INC (58383) dated 20/05/2024 for withdrawal of Recognition under section 14 of Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947 addressed to the principal secretary (Health & FW), Government of Orissa, Secretariat Building, Bhubaneswar – 75100, Odisha was issued. Copy of the notice dated 20/05/2024 was also enclosed to Kalinga Nursing School situated at Nausahi (Near City Clinic) Po – Balia Dist- Balasore, Balasore ,Distt. Baleshwar 756056 Odisha. In the notice issued, the State Government was requested to submit their recommendations to the Council as respects Suitability of the nursing institution. Whereas, the Council has not received any recommendation from the State Government as respects the case of Kalinga Nursing School. Even the institution, Kalinga Nursing School has not responded to the notices issued. Whereas, the Council has considered the matter in its entirety. Perusal of the inspection report dated 29/01/2024 would show that the institution is deficient in many respects especially those relating to deficiencies i.e., clinical and teaching facilities. These are serious deficiencies which constitute that the institution is unable to run ANM Course. Now therefore, the Council exercising powers under section 14(3) (b) declares that with effect from 26/10/2024 any person holding a recognized qualification of ANM from Kalinga Nursing School situated at Nausahi (Near City Clinic) Po – Balia Dist- Balasore, Balasore , Distt. Baleshwar 756056 Odisha shall be entitled to be registered only in the State of Odisha. Lt. Col (Dr) SARVJEET KAUR, Secy.
