LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a mega drive to improve the quality of nursing and paramedical education in the state after finding that over 77% of the new private sector applicant colleges scored way below the benchmark.
The surprise inspection and assessment was conducted by the directorate of medical education between January and March. Taking a strong note of the matter on Wednesday, chief minister Yogi Adityanath has directed officials to lodge an FIR against nursing colleges working against rules or providing substandard education.
