Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): For the sixth day, hundreds of nursing students have been holding an indefinite protest at the Gwalior Collectorate over delayed examinations, results and college recognition. The students, under the banner ‘Nursing Ka Jantar Mantar’, marched to the Collectorate after receiving a warning from the administration about potential legal action for protesting without permission.
They demanded permission to continue their peaceful demonstration at Flag Point near Katora Tal. A BSc Nursing student, Aarti, fell ill during the protest and was taken to a hospital by NSUI district president Pawan, leading to tension between the students and the police. The protest, while centered around delayed exams and results, also addressed concerns over the prolonged duration of the GNM course (six years) and BSc Nursing programme (seven years), college recognition, inadequate facilities, irregularities and scholarship issues.
The ongoing Supreme Court proceedings and a CBI investigation into nursing colleges added to their uncertainty, as colleges without clearance may not be allowed to conduct exams, forcing students to appear for their tests at other institutions.
