Indian Nursing Council believes that Health is a state of well-being that enables a person to lead a psychologically, socially &economically productive life. Health is a right of all the people. Individuals, families, and communities have a responsibility towards maintaining their health.
Nursing contributes to the health services in a vital and significant way in the health care delivery system.

It aims at identifying health needs of the people, planning and providing quality care in collaboration with other health professionals and community groups.
The scope of nursing practice encompasses the provision of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative aspects of care to people across their lifespan in a wide variety of healthcare settings. The practice of Nursing is based upon an application of basic concepts and principles derived from the physical, biological, behavioral sciences, medicine and nursing.
Nursing is based on values of caring and aims to help individuals to attain independence in self-care. It necessitates the development of compassion and understanding of human behavior among its practitioners to provide care with respect and dignity and protect the rights of individuals and groups.
An undergraduate nursing program is a broad-based education within an academic framework, specifically directed to the development of critical thinking skills, competencies & standards required for the practice of professional nursing and midwifery as envisaged in National Health Policy 2002.
