Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij today said 'Haryana Nursing Council' would soon be re-constituted to smoothly run nursing colleges in the state.
Vij was replying to a question during the ongoing session of Haryana Assembly here .
He said this Council was constituted during the regime of former Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda but he had neither adopted nor amended the Punjab Nursing Registration Act-1932.
As a result of it, even today, 16 out of its 17 members are related to Punjab. After amendment in this Act, the state government would soon constitute Nursing Council in Haryana. This would help in resolving problems of Multi Purpose Health Worker (MPHW) colleges in the state, he said.
The Health Minister said he had ordered vigilance inquiry of 15 colleges of Multi Purpose Health Worker approved during the tenure of former Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda. He said the previous State Government had given approval for opening 15 MPHW colleges just one month before elections.
The Health Minister said suspicion was raised when these 15 colleges sought permission to admit students. It was at that time that inspection was again conducted.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court also gave its consent to the decision of the state government for re-inspection.
Vij said that following this, Sub Divisional Officers of the districts concerned and officers of the Department got videography of the inspection of these colleges, but the report submitted by them was entirely different from the report submitted earlier.
He said in old report college building was shown, but in new report there was vacant land.
He said as facts have come to light, it was clear that earlier report was "false". It was found that the institutions taking permission for opening colleges had "cheated" the government and the officers who had prepared the wrong report had "misled" the government.
