The High Court had ordered a CBI probe into the credentials of all the nursing colleges in the state to ascertain if they had requisite facilities to operate the nursing courses.
The CBI gave a clean chit to 169 nursing colleges, pointing out deficiencies in 74 saying that they could be rectified, But the CBI found 65 nursing colleges unfit to operate.
Later, the court constituted a three-member committee headed by a retired judge of the High Court, Justice Rajendra Kumar Shrivastava to examine whether the 74 nursing colleges, which the CBI found to have deficiencies that could be cured, actually do so within the given time frame and decide on adjusting students of these colleges to other colleges in the meantime.
