The summit served as a distinguished national platform, bringing together nursing leaders, policymakers, academicians, and healthcare professionals from across the country to deliberate on the future of nursing in India. Centred on the theme “Future-Ready Nursing,”the event highlighted the transformative role of innovation, artificial intelligence, digital health, leadership, policy advocacy, advanced nursing practice, and quality-driven healthcare in shaping the next generation of nursing professionals.

The prestigious award was received on behalf of KIMS by Mrs. Gitanjali Mohanta, Nursing Superintendent. This national recognition stands as a testament to the institution’s unwavering commitment to excellence in nursing education, clinical practice, patient safety, and continuous professional development.

At KIMS, nursing excellence is nurtured through a robust framework of structured learning and skill enhancement. The institution regularly conducts specialized training programmes, including Certificate Courses in Critical Care Nursing, Neuroscience Nursing, and Gastro Specialty Nursing, alongside Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) certification programmes. These initiatives are further strengthened through simulation-based training at theKaabeel Simulation and Skill Up-gradation Center, equipped with high-fidelity simulators that enable nurses to develop advanced clinical competencies in a safe and dynamic learning environment.

Recognizing that professional growth extends beyond technical expertise, the KIMS management has consistently invested in providing nurses with opportunities to engage with eminent national and international experts. A significant milestone in this endeavor was the successful organization of Nurse Lead Conclave 2025, a national nursing conference hosted by KIMS. The conclave brought together renowned nursing leaders, academicians, and healthcare professionals from across the country, fostering knowledge exchange, leadership development, evidence-based practice, and exposure to emerging trends in healthcare.

These initiatives reflect KIMS’ vision of nurturing confident, competent, and future-ready nursing professionals capable of delivering world-class patient care.

KIMS has remained steadfast in its pursuit of quality and clinical excellence by strengthening patient safety, promoting evidence-based practices, and fostering a culture of continuous quality improvement across the organization. Receiving this National Nursing Excellence Award marks yet another milestone in KIMS’ journey and reaffirms its commitment to delivering compassionate, safe, innovative, and quality-centered healthcare.

This remarkable achievement is a reflection of the dedication, compassion, and professionalism of the entire KIMS nursing fraternity—from frontline Nursing Officers and Senior Nursing Officers to Nursing In-Charges, educators, and the Nursing Administration. Their relentless commitment to patient care, teamwork, and lifelong learning has made this national recognition possible.

On receiving the award, Mrs. Gitanjali Mohanta expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Prof. (Dr.) Achyuta Samanta, Founder, KIIT, KIMS, and KISS, for his visionary leadership and for creating world-class infrastructure that supports excellence in healthcare education and practice. She also conveyed her sincere appreciation to the entire KIMS management for their unwavering encouragement and constant support in empowering the nursing workforce and fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and lifelong learning.
