Madhya Pradesh: On the second day of the monsoon session of the Madhya Pradesh Parliament, there was a huge uproar in the House over the much-discussed nursing scam. Deputy Leader of Opposition Hemant Katare raised the issue of the nurse scam in the House and targeted the ruling BJP government. He said that fake colleges have been recognized by the Nursing Council for a long time, against which the government is taking action only for show.
It has come to light that senior officials of the state health department are running such nursing schools which do not even have any campus. Some colleges were found to be operating in a small number of campuses, after which the Madhya Pradesh Nursing Council canceled the membership of 19 colleges and 66 colleges were completely closed. The Central Bank is currently investigating the matter.
The future of medical students is in danger after the last three sessions.
Deputy Leader of Opposition Hemant Katare told the House that fake colleges have been recognized by the Nursing Council for a long time. Even these universities do not have libraries or adequate staff. He said that the number of beds in these colleges is not up to the standard. It was found that the nursing school’s recognition was obtained by fake teachers. The name of the same teacher is registered in many universities.
