National Health Policy(NHP) 2002 emphasizes the need to prepare nurses to
function in super-speciality areas who are required in tertiary care
institutions, entrusting some limited public health functions to nurses after
providing adequate training, and increase the ratio of degree holding vis a
vis diploma holding nurses.
It is observed that there is an acute shortage of nursing faculty in under
graduate and post graduate nursing programme in India
Indian Nursing Council believes that:
Post Graduate programme is essential to prepare nurses to improve the
quality of nursing education and practice in India. .
Post graduate programme in nursing builds upon and extends competence

health fields who can function as nurse specialists, consultants, educators,
administrators and researchers in a wide variety of professional settings in

This programme provides the basis for the post masteral programme in
nursing. Further the programme encourages accountability and
commitment to life long learning which fosters improvement of quality care.
