ITAGAR, Jul 26: The All Aruchal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has called upon the registrar of Aruchal Pradesh Nursing Council and State’s medical education director to liaise with its Kartaka counterpart to initiate necessary measures so that the studies of the Aruchalee students pursuing their nursing degree in Kartaka are not affected. The appeal from AAPSU came after the Indian Nursing Council’s (INC) recently decided to derecognize nursing institutes in Kartaka from its list of affiliated institutions. An AAPSU delegation led by its debate and symposium secretary Marli Kamki called on the registrar and director on Tuesday and submitted a representation in this regard.
While apprising the duo on the impending crisis which has occurred due to the sudden decision taken by the INC, the union stated that every year, there a large number of young Aruchalees go to Kartaka to pursue nursing and the INC’s decision de-recognize the Nursing colleges in Kartaka would make it hard for the students to register and practice outside the state.
It is learnt that the order is the result of the earlier directives issued by the Kartaka government which is in contravention to the Indian Nursing Council (INC). The AAPSU is of the view that the career of those Aruchalees intending to pursue Nursing degree should not be jeopardized in the ensuing melee, the union wrote in its letter.
The AAPSU has further asked the authorities concerned to issue necessary advisory to the students intending to pursue nursing in Kartaka.
