Whereas, a notice no. 18-02/15639-INC dated 16/05/2023 for withdrawal of Recognition under section 14 of Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947 addressed to Principal Secretary, Health Medical and Family Welfare Deptartment, Government of Andhra Pradesh, 5th Block, Ground Floor, Room No. 157, A.P. Secretariat Velagapudi, Amaravathi 522503, Andhra Pradesh was issued. Copy of the notice dated 16/05/2023 was also enclosed to Amrutha School of Nursing situated at 6-149/17/1 Main Road Pendurthi, Vishakhapatnam 531173, Andhra Pradesh. 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 Amrutha School of Nursing, Andhra Pradesh. Even the institution Amrutha School of Nursing has not responded to the notices issued. Whereas, the Council has considered the matter in its entirety. Refusal for statutory inspection under section 13 of Indian Nursing Council Act 1947 is a serious issue. It is on the basis of inspections only that the Council would be in a position to decide about the suitability of the nursing institution to conduct nursing courses. Refusal for inspection would ipso facto mean that the institution does not possess the requisite Teaching, Clinical or infrastructural facilities. Now therefore, the Council exercising powers under section 14(3)(b) declares that with effect from 04/08/2023 any person holding a recognized qualification of GNM from Amrutha School of Nursing situated at 6- 149/17/1 Main Road Pendurthi, Vishakhapatnam 531173, Andhra Pradesh shall be entitled to be registered only in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
