Women empowerment" is the USP of the Mahatma Hans Raj DAV Institute of Nursing and Hospital here. True to its mission, the institute is imparting quality education and offering research facilities to student nurses to ensure their competitiveness in the global job arena.
The institute, a dream venture of Mr G.P. Chopra, president of the DAV College Managing Committee, was set up about three years back. The institute, affiliated with the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot, is named after Mahatma Hans Raj, the torchbearer of the DAV Movement during the British regime and strong votary of women's education.
The institute offers four years' B.Sc. (Nursing) course with an annual intake of 50 students. The four years' degree programme includes three years of training and one year of compulsory internship. The nursing programme is duly approved by the Indian Nursing Council and the Punjab Nursing Council.
The building of the institute and five-storey multi-specialty 250-bed hospital, spread over 5 acres of land, is situated adjacent to the Burlton Park on Jalandhar-Amritsar road.
"Keeping in view the demand for trained and qualified nurses in the state as well as overseas, the managing committee decided to set up an ultra-modern nursing institute way back in 1998. The nursing programme finally took off about three years back after getting formal affiliation with the university," says Ms P.P. Sharma, advisor of the institute.
The institute's authorities claim that their aim is to help the students acquire basic scientific knowledge and skills in nursing profession, so as to contribute as members of a healthcare team in providing preventive, creative and restorative services to the people.
Holding seminars, workshops and conferences is a regular feature in the institute. Audio-visual aids, two well-equipped modern laboratories, a computerised and well-catalogued library having books on various health related topics - all are used to impart quality education to the students, claim the institute's authorities. The institute lays maximum emphasis on overall personality development of the students to enable them to develop technical competence, skills in human relations and social understanding, add the authorities.
"We are going to set up a special placement cell for campus recruitment of bright students. The cell would coordinate with national and multinational companies for the placement of the students. Besides, it would train the students in preparing their resumes. It would also hold mock interviews. The cell would also be responsible for coordinating with international healthcare institutions for overseas placements," Ms Sharma tells us.
The institute has also decided to introduce M.Sc. (Nursing) and diploma course in General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) from the next academic session for which necessary approval has been sought from the authorities concerned.
In accordance with the guidelines of the Indian President, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, with regard to the development of the rural sector, the institute has decided to introduce "Rural Healthcare" project very shortly. "The students would serve people in the countryside by holding medical camps on regular basis. The process to shortlist such villages is on. The students, in collaboration with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), would provide the latest healthcare facilities to villagers. Besides, they would campaign against social evils like female foeticide and pre-natal sex determination," maintain institute's authorities.
