She said the new institution would directly benefit young women from Dongra Ahir as well as dozens of villages across Mahendragarh district. With the college’s establishment, students from rural areas will no longer have to travel to distant cities to pursue professional nursing education. Instead, they will be able to access quality education closer to home.

The Health Minister said the nursing college would create new opportunities for local girls to build careers in the healthcare sector, enabling them to become financially independent and socially empowered.

She further said that the institution would also contribute to strengthening the healthcare ecosystem in the region by producing skilled nursing professionals and improving the availability of trained healthcare personnel in the coming years.

Arti Singh Rao added that the Health Department has been directed to expedite all further procedures so the project can be implemented at the earliest.
