He also passed instructions for increasing the intake capacity of the college from 50 to 100 seats so that the requirement of paramedic staff in our health institutions is adequately addressed. The Chief Minister, who is also the Chairman of the Waqf Board, passed these directions while reviewing the functioning of Waqf institutions in the State. Formal instructions will be conveyed shortly to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Kashmir with whom the Bibi Halima College is affiliated. Vice Chairman, J&K Waqf Board, Peer Mohammad Hussain, was also present in the meeting. The Chief Minister, while favouring a revision in fee structure of the College for making the institutions self-sustaining, called for taking immediate corrective measures to give all the aspiring candidates a level-playing field to compete for selection in professional institutions. "There is a huge demand for nurses in the health sector both within and outside the country. We have an available market in the Middle East, especially Saudia Arabia, where our trained nurses can be gainfully employed," the Chief Minister said. The Chief Minister asked Vice Chairman Waqf Board to take up with University of Kashmir the issue of switching over to Entrance Mode for selection of candidates in the Bibi Halima College. Presently, the students are being admitted on the basis of merit achieved in 10+2 examinations.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
