Quality health care remains one of the most fundamental necessities for mankind. Modern day lifestyles have triggered an increase in stress, new ailments and diseases. Today, while clinics and hospitals are mushrooming everywhere, the need of the hour is to groom well qualified and trained personnel.

Good nursing is the backbone to a speedy, uneventful recovery and health. A nurse needs to be a holistically developed individual with a sound mind in a sound body. There is vast scarcity of nursing staff not only in Bihar but all over India.

Till 2019 there has remained a shortage of 1.94 million nurses in India. The district with the highest density of nurses is Kottayam (Kerala) 396.6 per lakh population, while the lowest is Madhepura (Bihar) 4.8 per lakh population. In Aurangabad (Bihar) the density of nurses is 11.6 per lakh population.

Keeping this in view, for the sake of service to people, Dr. Abhay Kumar (Chairman of Dev Foundation Trust) worked tirelessly to get St. Mary Nursing Institute permitted by Indian Nursing Council, the supreme controlling body of nursing education.
