Introduction
The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) of the Government of India (GoI) has brought back the
focus on delivery of essential reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH)
interventions at the level of Primary Health Centers. The overarching objective of NRHM is to increase
the accessibility of these services to the vast rural population of India. The recent policies and
programs, focusing on RMNCH, Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY scheme), Janani Shishu Suraksha
Karyakram (JSSK), Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI),
Operationalization of 24/7 PHCs and First Referral Units; have put an increased emphasis on the role
of the basic health worker, the Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), and General Nurse Midwife (GNM)
in the provision of comprehensive RMNCH services in the country, especially in rural areas.
While the GoI has initiated the above mentioned programs like the JSY and JSSK to increase the
access to institutional care for childbirth and other basic RMNCH services, the quality of care at the
health facilities is not consistent throughout the country. One of the main contributing factors towards
this inconsistent quality of care is the sub-optimal competency of the providers, especially the nurse-
midwives, working in the public sector facilities. This problem is further aggravated by the shortage
of the human resources, especially the nurse-midwives, at the public sector facilities. Therefore,
capacity of the states to produce sufficient number of competent and confident nurse-midwives is
crucial for the success of the various RMNCH programs being launched and implemented by the GoI.
This is all the more important because the staff nurses and ANMs are the providers of basic health
care at the lowest level of the health system and therefore the availability of adequate number of
competent nurse-midwives in the country is a critical determinant to accessibility of quality RMNCH
services to the vast rural population in the country.
To respond to this need for development of the adequate number of competent and confident basic
healthcare service providers who can provide quality RMNCH services at the grassroots level, a
comprehensive initiative to strengthen the foundation of pre-service education (PSE) for these nurse-
midwives is being undertaken by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) in
collaboration with the Indian Nursing Council (INC).
Strategic Approach
The MoHFW, GoI, in collaboration with INC, and with support from various development agencies,
has initiated a national program for strengthening the quality of pre-service education at the GNM
Schools and ANM training centers in the 10 high focus states of Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar,
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Assam and Jammu & Kashmir.
However, though only 10 high focus states have been identified for implementation of this program, it
is strongly recommended that other states also adopt/adapt this program for strengthening quality of
pre-service education for the nursing midwifery cadre in their nursing-midwifery institutions.
The strategic approach for strengthening GNM Schools and ANMTCs include establishment of a
number of National/State Nodal Centers (Upgraded Colleges of Nursing) to steer the process. It is
envisioned that these Nodal Centers, besides serving as model teaching institutions, would also serve
as pedagogic resource centers for strengthening PSE at the GNM Schools and ANM Training Centers
1
(ANMTCs) in their respective regions and assigned states and also provide support in the concurrent
strengthening of these ANMTCs and GNM Schools. It is important to note that the goal of this
initiative is to strengthen the quality of education at the ANM and GNM schools with special priority
to high focus states of India. The national/state nodal centers are being set up to just act as
intermediaries of the Nursing Division of MOHFW and the Indian Nursing Council, for bringing
about this improvement in the quality of education at the ANM and GNM schools. Therefore, the
setting up of national/state nodal centers should be viewed in the perspective of the strengthening of
PSE at the ANM and GNM schools and not as standalone milestones or deliverables.
The approach adopted for this program includes a combination of top down and bottoms up
programmatic activities where in the setting up of national/state nodal centers is initiated at the
national or state levels, concurrently, the strengthening of the ANMTCs and GNM Schools is also
initiated at the state and district levels, so as to minimize the time lag between the setting up of nodal
centers and strengthening of ANM and GNM Schools.
Towards this objective, the initiative will work on strengthening of the five of the most criticial
dimensions of the Pre Service Education (PSE) at all the ANM and GNM schools, which inlcude the
following:
Strengthened

Educational Improved Management and

Programmatic Approach
Goal:
Strengthen the foundation of nursing and midwifery education in ten high focus states of India,
resulting in higher functioning educational institutions and better prepared service providers i.e.
ANMs and nurse midwives who are competent, confident and ready to work, especially in rural areas.
Priority states:
Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa,
Assam and Jammu & Kashmir. However, though only 10 high focus states have been identified for
implementation of this program, other states can also adopt/adapt this program for
strengthening quality of pre-service education for the nursing midwifery cadre in their nursing-
midwifery institutions.
Objectives:
To strengthen the educational and clinical standards and processes in National Nodal Centers of
Pre-service Nursing and Midwifery Education (NME), towards enabling them to assume
responsibility for the training and mentoring of master trainers of SNC and faculty of ANM/GNM
Schools.
To strengthen the educational and clinical standards and processes in State Nodal Centers of Pre-
service Nursing and Midwifery Education (NME), towards enabling them to assume
responsibility for the training and mentoring faculty of ANM/GNM Schools;
To strengthen the quality of Pre-service Nursing and Midwifery Education at the ANM/GNM
Schools by improving the MNCH/FP knowledge and clinical skills of ANM/GNM School
faculty and implementing the quality improvement process for strengthening educational
processes and clinical practices at all ANM/GNM Schools;
The identified NNCs/SNCs will be set up by the implementation of the INC endorsed performance
standards for the national/state nodal centers through the quality improvement process and
standardization. It is expected that an institution can be recognized as a nodal center once it achieves
70% to 80% of the performance standards which ultimately helps in strengthening of the educational
and clinical processes; strengthening of the training infrastructure by establishment of the skills lab,
computer lab, library and strengthening of the management, teaching and clinical capacity of the
faculty of these institutions.
Concurrently the ANM/GNM schools also will be strengthened through the use of simple, measurable
performance standards which serve as a quality improvement guide. These performance standards
provide a structure for program support and a criterion-based quality improvement system which will
allow the GoI/INC, through its nodal centers (State/National level) for nursing and midwifery
education, to provide specific ongoing technical support for strengthening of the quality of education
at these institutions.
Expected Outcomes:
National Nodal Centers and State Nodal Centers established at pre-determined colleges of
Nursing.
Improved quality of pre-service education at the ANM/GNM Schools in the ten states:
3
SS
GNM Schools and ANMTCs strengthened in terms of faculty positions, training
infrastructure, educational processes, clinical practices and achieving and sustaining at least
70% of the INC approved performance standards.
Strengthened capacity of the faculty of the GNM Schools and ANMTCs by focused refresher
training in teaching and clinical skills.
Strengthened capacity at the national and state levels to better manage the nursing and midwifery
education in the country, especially focusing on these ten high focus states.

College of Nursing, CMC Ludhiana
College of Nursing, St. Stephen’s Hospital, New Delhi
Government College of Nursing, Vadodara
College of Nursing, Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi
RAK College of Nursing, New Delhi.
Identification of state nodal centers: Every state will have at least one college of nursing
identified as state nodal center on the criteria mentioned above. States like Bihar and Uttarakhand
have already identified existing colleges of nursing for setting up of state nodal centers.
Other states need to identify the same on priority and send the names of the identified institutes to
the MoHFW, GoI, with a copy to NIHFW, INC and supporting partners.
Orientation of faculty of nodal centers: Three day orientation of the identified additional and
regular faculty of the college of nursing (Principal, tutors), and the representatives from the
clinical practice sites (HOD –OBG, LR in-charge, Nursing Superintendent/Matron) to the
educational and clinical standards and its implementation, has to be undertaken at national nodal
center. While the first two days of the workshop will be dedicated to the educational standards
corresponding to the sections 1 to 4 of performance standards (see the table below), the third day
of the workshop is committed to orientation on the clinical standards. The first two days of the
orientation will be attended by faculty of the Nodal Centers while the third day of the meeting
will also be attended by representatives of the clinical practice sites.
Baseline assessment: Baseline assessment of the college and the clinical site using the
educational and clinical standards and preparation of an action plan for addressing the identified
gaps, to be done by the faculty of the college oriented at the national nodal center with support
from the development partner.

skill lab, library and IT lab for enabling the college of nursing to assume the responsibilities of
nodal center.
Identification of additional faculty: While the educational and clinical standards are being
implemented, identified faculty from the NNC and SNC, including the additionally hired faculty,
shall be sent to a functional National Nodal Center for a 10 day training to equip them as master
trainers for the conduction of the six-week training for the faculty of the ANM and GNM schools.
External assessment: On conducting the periodic internal assessments based on the performance
standards (Annexure 1: Performance standards of the Nodal Centers and GNM/ANM Schools) as
stated above, if the institution is confident that they have achieved 70-80% of the performance
standards, the authorities of these nodal centers will call for external assessment of the educational
and clinical standards of the college of nursing by the Indian Nursing Council, with intimation to
NIHFW and Nursing Division, MoHFW, GoI, for assessing whether the college of nursing has
achieved the score for certification by INC as a national nodal center. On conducting internal
assessments, if the staff of the college of nursing feels that they have not achieved 70-80% clinical
and educational standards, they should again take time bound steps to address the remaining gaps
towards achieving these scores.
