The College follows the curriculum set by the Indian Nursing

7.3.11 What is your complaint management process? How do you ensure that these complaints are resolved promptly and effectively? How are complaints aggregated and analyzed for use in the improvement of the organization, and for better stakeholderrelationship and satisfaction?

The Grievance Committee is established in the institution and is functioning effectively.

The complaints of the student and the faculty are attended by the Grievance Committee. Students may also complaint to their mentor or HOD directly or insert their complaints in the suggestion box. All complaints, even if given anonymously are taken seriously. The HOD then resolves the complaint. If it is not resolved at that level, then it goes to the principal.

At the HODs’ meeting with the principal, the nature of the complaint, its impact on the academic and administration sections is discussed and corrective steps are taken.
