“Karnataka nurses forum” is an association
evolved to stand for Nurses. It started in Mangalore with the brave pg students
on the sole view to fight against injustice prevailing in the site. In the year
2010, M.sc nursing results had been devastating. Students from the best colleges
in Karnataka failed with very less marks which was a shock to bright students.
Dishearted by the tragedy, a student group in Mangalore lead by Mr. Anoop
Abraham, Mr. Joshan PM, Mr. Jansen, Mr. Anooj Aravind,etc (many others too) gathered many students and moved to high court.
When the court refused the case, the students formed a group in facebook
provide a platform to publicize the issue and provide justice to the suffering.
Then this little spark ignited a light
of hope among thousands of students across the state.
At this same moment students of Bangalore region
jumped into the protest. The leaders in this region were Mr. Govindraj RH, Mr.
Suresh Babu GO, Mr. Khadir, Mr. Mubash, Mr. Shabeer, Mr. Ajo, Mr. Kenneth
Sajjan, Mr. Sathish,Mr. Prasanna, Mr. Halaswamy etc (many others too).
Then there was unified effort by the “Karnataka Nurses Forum” to fight
for injustice. After much hardship, finally the “Karnataka Nurses Forum” tasted
the first success by getting grace marks for the needy candidates which saved
them from the stigma of failure.
“Karnataka Nurses Forum” continued its efforts
whenever there was injustice in the state for nurses. “Karnataka Nurses Forum”
has successfully worked as a voice of Karnataka Nurses and determined with the clear-cut
solution of rooting out corruption and to address irregularities and injustice
happening to Nursing fraternity.
“Karnataka Nurses Forum” has brought many
transformations in the Rajiv Gandhi Health University examination and
evaluation system especially in Nursing. The changes were implementation of
best of 2 in the evaluation criteria, centralised evaluation, and cancellation
of limited attempts. Now “Karnataka Nurses Forum” is continuously striving for

University Senate elections. The leaders campaigned for the candidates who were
