NDTV Impact: Madhya Pradesh's Tough Action In Nursing College Scam

An NDTV investigation last year found gross irregularities in the functioning of nursing colleges in Madhya Pradesh.

After NDTV's continued investigation, the Madhya Pradesh government has ordered tough action against the accused in the nursing college scam, that has affected about 1.25 lakh students.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has said that all officers and employees involved in irregularities will be sacked and action will be taken against the then registrar and secretary of the Nursing Council.

An exam will also be held, on the lines of engineering and medical entrances, for nursing students.
