The GNM Training Center, established in Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh with the aim of strengthening health services and connecting local youth with nursing education, has today become a powerful medium for education and employment in the region. This institution is not only strengthening the district’s health system but also playing a vital role in empowering local women to become self-reliant.
It is noteworthy that the ANM Training Center was first established in 2014 to expand health services in Narayanpur. Later, in 2017, keeping in mind the growing needs of the region and improved medical facilities, this institution was upgraded and began operating as a GNM Training Center.

Currently, there is provision for admission on a total of 40 seats in this training center, where a new academic session starts every year in the month of October-November. This is a 3-year diploma course. For admission, it is mandatory for the candidates to have passed 12th (Science subject) and the minimum age should be 18 years. It should be known that this center is completely residential, where currently 108 girl students are living and studying.
