Message from HOD

I feel proud to be a part of Jubilee mission of College of Nursing. Our department of community health nursing was established with the aim to provide in-depth knowledge and practice on concepts, philosophy, and principles of community health nursing. The department serves the society based on “prevention is better than cure” with various activities. Department is involved training of undergraduate nursing students. Students are trained in the areas of family assessment and community assessment to identify health problems of people living in the community. Students are further trained to make referrals for people identified to have problems and to give health education with emphasis on primary prevention. The strength of our department is to work together, serving as resource team, dispense services to schools, colleges, Government and Non- Government Organization. The department is offering free preventive, curative and rehabilitative services in rural and urban areas, conducting free medical camps, Mass awareness programme, participating in national health programmes and conducting in-service education programme for health care workers. The outreach programmes are well appreciated and acknowledged in the community by various stakeholders.
