4. The Secretary, Selection Committee for Para Medical Courses has stated that the number of Para Medical Institutions proposed by the Cabinet sub-Committee for each district are fixed in the year 1996 considering the situation at that time. When there were only a few multi specialty hospitals available in the State capital or in the Districts. Subsequently, a good number of hospitals are coming up both in the state Capital as well as in the District Headquarters. In addition to this, it is understood that there is a good demand for the trained nurses both in the country as well as in the foreign countries. These developments need more number of trained nurses. While reviewing the matter, the Committee felt that it would be appropriate to recommend to the Government to consider the sanction the above any of the three courses in the multi specialty hospitals where there is a bed strength of more than 200 in each of these hospitals even though there is no provision in the Districts for sanction of such courses based on the orders in G.O.Ms.No.401, Health, Medical & Family Welfare (M2) Department, Dt. 29-9-1997. This will be in the best interest of imparting good education and proper training to the students selected for these courses and also to secure employment either in the country or elsewhere.
