About the Institute
Nursing is not just a profession — it's a calling.
Shanta Nursing Institute trains ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery) students in Jasoiya, Aurangabad, Bihar — nurturing the next generation of compassionate and competent healthcare professionals through real community and maternal health fieldwork.
A focused institute, not a sprawling one.
Where we are
Based at BIADA, Jasoiya, Aurangabad, Bihar — training ANM students for community and maternal healthcare careers.
When we started
Established in 2023 under the Shanta Memorial Trust, with an Indian Nursing Council–approved ANM programme.
What we teach
A 2-year ANM diploma with an approved intake of 60 seats, combining classroom fundamentals with field-based practice from early in the course.
Who guides it
Led by Chairperson Dr. Shobha Rani Sinha and Principal Amrita Kumari, alongside a small, hands-on leadership team committed to student support over scale.
Community health runs on people trained close to home.
Auxiliary Nurse Midwives are one of the most consistent points of healthcare contact for rural and semi-urban families across Bihar. At the sub-centre and Primary Health Centre (PHC) level, ANMs run antenatal clinics, manage immunisation schedules under national health programmes, support safe deliveries, and are often the first person a family turns to for maternal and child health questions.
Aurangabad district, like much of Bihar, depends on a steady pipeline of locally trained community health workers — people who understand the area they serve and are willing to work in field-based, outreach-heavy roles rather than exclusively hospital settings. Training students in Jasoiya, Aurangabad rather than sending them elsewhere keeps that pipeline local: graduates are more likely to serve the district they trained in.
That's the practical reasoning behind an ANM-focused institute here: not every healthcare gap needs a hospital — many need a trained, present, and trusted community nurse.
