Infrastructure of the institute must be put to optimal use
TANGMARG: Minister of Education, Naeem Akhtar, Friday, said the Regional Institute of Health and Family Welfare (RIHFW) in Kunzer, Tangmarg, is an “ideal place” for establishing a nursing college.
Akhtar, who was on a tour of Tangmarg constituency made the announcement during an interaction with the staff of RIHFW, which was established in 2013 on 27 kanals of land.
“I will take up the matter (of converting the institute into a nursing college) with the Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and the Health Minister, Choudhary Lal Singh. The institute has fine infrastructure in a readymade state, which must be put to optimal use,” the Minister said.
