Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has come to the rescue of a nursing student who had been denied entrance in a nursing college on the ground that she had developed Diabetes Mellitus (Type-1).
The court has directed the Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (Lucknow) vice chancellor to look into the matter and give a report within two weeks as to whether the Ramakrishna Mission Sevashram/Vivekanand College of Nursing is fit to impart nursing education or not. The court has directed to the college to immediately open its gates for Sundhya to enable her to attend clesses.
The court strongly-observed: "These college are not running a military course.They are training for a job, which involves human relations and empathy. If these characters are missing, then they do not deserve to continue with the training".
The court said: "It is shocking that a hospital which is supposed to cater to the need of the patients of a hospital which has been established in the name of greatest spiritual leaders of the world is passing such orders. Incidentally, the name of the college declares that this is a 'mission' hospital and it is a 'Sewashram'.
Justice Shabihul Hasnain passed these orders after coming to know that Sandhya, a third year student pursing a nursing training course, was denied entry to the college by means of a letter dated June 10. The reason for debarring Sandhya, as stated in the letter, was that the disease required administration of insulin three times a day and due to impulsive personality disorder/trait being detected in the student, it requires continuous and periodical monitoring by endocrinologist and psychiatrist. Justice Hasnain also took notice of the recent case of Saghmitra Bannerjee, a student of BSc third-year of a nursing college who was denied access on the ground of misdemeanour. The court directed to the collge not to play with the career of the student.
