PD Hinduja College of Nursing, Mumbai will add another feather to its cap soon, after getting accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The college, within a span of six years, upgraded to College of Nursing under Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik from School of Nursing. NAAC is an autonomous body that assesses and accredits institutions of higher education in India.
Jaya Kuruvilla, Principal, College of Nursing informed, “Accreditation from NAAC is a three part process consisting of the preparation and submission of a self-study report by the unit of assessment. Once completed and published, an on-site visit of the peer team for validation of the self-study report is done with recommendations of the assessment. Lastly, the final decision is made by the Executive Committee of the NAAC.”
The NAAC Peer team will be visiting the College of Nursing from August 9-11, 2012. The present move is yet another effort to improve quality of nursing education.
