About Shri Umiya College of Nursing Palanpur
Holding approvals from the Gujarat Nursing Council, graduates from this Palanpur-based institution enter the workforce with a distinct practical edge. The college was set up under the Umiya Vidyavihar trust to address the acute shortage of trained healthcare professionals in the Banas Kantha district. When we source clinical staff from here, we find nurses who are exceptionally well-accustomed to regional patient demographics and resource-efficient medical environments.
