Namakkal – 637205 Tamilnadu 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 Sengunthar College of Nursing Even the institution Sengunthar College of Nursing has not responded to the notices issued.
