Mumbai is set to welcome its first B.Sc. Nursing College at Bandra's Bhabha Hospital, following a proposal by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The college will be established on a 2,327.42-square-metre plot within the hospital premises, under the Public-Private Partnership Promotion Policy (PPPP).
The 10-year lease agreement involves a one-time premium payment of Rs. 5.56 crore and an annual rent of Rs. 2,350. The proposal is currently pending approval from the BMC Improvement Committee. The Suburban Guardian Minister's request to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, followed by the BMC's decision to invite tenders, led to the selection of VSPM Academy of Higher Education as the eligible institution.
VSPM Academy brings over two decades of experience in nursing education, with an established capacity for 150 B.Sc. Nursing students, 35 M.Sc. Nursing students, 40 Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing students, and 100 General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) students. Recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and affiliated with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), the proposed college aims to strengthen nursing personnel availability in BMC-run hospitals and offer opportunities for civic employees to pursue technical and professional education.
