Tarakeswar Vivekananda Pally Seva Kendra, Hooghly

Tarakeswar Vivekananda Pally Seva Kendra, Hooghly, West Bengal, is an independent nursing institute. This is a coeducational university that was formed in 2009 and has been preparing the future health care providers for more than ten years. Located in a small area of just five acres, the institute holds approval from the Indian Nursing Council (INC) for providing high-standard education in the nursing sector.

Currently, the institute has a total intake capacity of 160 students and 8 dedicated faculties to provide a specialised education to those students who want to become nurses. Tarakeswar Vivekananda Pally Seva Kendra boasts of making the following facilities available as a way of improving on the students’ experience. The library provides information in discourses inimical to learning nursing as a profession.

Modern labs give practical classes necessary for strengthening the practical knowledge about health care. First aid facilities are found in a health centre, allowing students within the campus to be healthy. For those who need to stay, the institute has boys and girls hostel services that ensure that students live to an adequate standard.

Coincidentally, there is a swimming pool available in the institute with swimming trainers for both the novices and the Inter and Post and done by some of the Inter and Post completionist trainers available in the institute. Sports fields are also provided to maintain the right proportion between health and academics. This SEK at present provides only one central course—the General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) course.

This course is a full course and takes three years to complete, offering nursing and midwifery education fully. As it is, it has an approved intake of 30 seats for this programme, however, it shows its concern towards maintaining a fair student-faculty ratio for better focus.

Though the institute offers solely this distinct course, this shows their commitment to providing quality as opposed to quantity of nursing courses. The admission procedure of the Tarakeswar Vivekananda Pally Seva Kendra depends on the West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam, which gives only merit students. This ensures a consistent process of choosing students who have the right attitude and interest in nursing.
