Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary This withdrawal order, issued by the Indian Nursing Council on August 17, 2026, under the Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947, revokes the national recognition of 21 nursing institutions in Jharkhand. Effective from September 11, 2025, qualifications from these institutions entitle holders to professional registration exclusively within the State of Jharkhand. The action follows the institutions' failure to undergo statutory inspections and a lack of suitability recommendations from state authorities.

Key Points / Main Content

Statutory Authority and Background

  • The order is issued under Section 14 and Section 14(3)(b) of the Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947.
  • A formal notice for withdrawal of recognition (No. 18-36/Govt./2024 - INC 65294) was previously issued on November 26, 2024, to the Government of Jharkhand and the Jharkhand Nurses & Midwives Council.

Grounds for Withdrawal

  • Inspection Failures: The listed institutions failed to apply for mandatory statutory inspections for several consecutive years.
  • Unsuitability: Facilities were found to be deficient or unsuitable for conducting nursing programs.
  • Administrative Silence: Neither the Jharkhand State Government nor the Jharkhand Nurses & Midwives Council provided the requested recommendations regarding the suitability of these institutions.

Regulatory Restrictions

  • Limited Registration: Graduates holding qualifications from the 21 specified institutions are barred from national-level registration.
  • Geographic Constraint: Professional registration for these individuals is restricted solely to the State of Jharkhand, effective from September 11, 2025.

Scope of Institutions

  • The order affects 21 institutions offering various nursing programs, including Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM), B.Sc Nursing, and Post Basic B.Sc Nursing.
  • Impacted districts include Giridih, Latehar, Sahebganj, Saraikela, Jamshedpur, Ranchi, West Singhbhum, Pakur, Chatra, Hazaribagh, East Singhbhum, Palamu, and Khunti.

Impact Analysis

Listed Nursing Institutions (21 Schools/Colleges) Impact They have lost their status as nationally recognized training centers due to persistent deficiencies and failure to comply with inspection protocols. Action Required Must address structural and program deficiencies and comply with statutory inspection requirements to potentially seek future recognition.

Students and Graduates Impact Holders of qualifications from these institutions face restricted professional mobility; they cannot register as nurses or midwives in any state other than Jharkhand. Action Required Must seek professional registration only through the Jharkhand Nurses & Midwives Council.

Jharkhand State Government and Nurses & Midwives Council Impact Responsible for the oversight of institutions that have been declared unsuitable at a national level. Action Required Must manage the localized registration of graduates and were previously requested to provide suitability recommendations to the Indian Nursing Council.

Key Entities Referenced

Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947: The primary legislation (specifically Section 14) under which the Indian Nursing Council exercised its power to withdraw recognition from specific nursing institutions.
