Foundation of the School of Revised Auxiliary Nurse and Midwifery on April 12, 1972

As the number of hospitals, dispensaries and health centres went on increasing, there was always a more urgent demand for Trained Nurses. Fulfilling this demand to a certain extent, the school would provide a means of livelihood to a number of poor village girls, who for financial or intellectual reasons could not attempt college studies but felt attracted to the nursing profession. Church authorities also consented to the starting of an Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery Training Programme for the benefit of the people and the young girls, especially those of South Bihar now Jharkhand.

The School was officially opened on April 12, 1972 with 15 students. It was inspected by the Bihar Nursing Council and was recognized and affiliated by the Government.

Aims and Objectives:

To train dedicated and committed nurses in the service of the sick and suffering in the country.
Apart from professional efficiency, the nurses to be trained to give loving and selfless services to the patients at all times.
Along with knowledge, a feeling and sympathetic heart is also to be cultivated.
To prepare them to work in the villages among the people and to give total health care.
This training programme is of 2 years duration.

The first capping ceremony of the first batch of nurses took place on July 18, 1972. The School obtained its permanent recognition in April 1978.

The Nurses' Training School results have always been excellent. Two or three students normally secure the first ranks in the State, several with Distinction and 1st Division. Credit goes to the Administrators, Doctors, Principals, Sister Tutors and the members of the staff of the Nursing School. The trained nurses are employed in Mission Hospitals, Health Centres and dispensaries. A good many of them are in Government posts. They prove to be responsible, dedicated and efficient. Some of them have embraced religious life to devote themselves fully to the cause of the suffering humanity.

Since October 1983 the School is called "School of Revised Auxiliary Nurse and Midwifery."
