History of Alumni

St. Martha’s School of Nursing, a unit of St. Martha’s hospital, was started in 1933 and upgraded to College of Nursing in1998. The students passed out from the portals of St. Martha’s have spread the aroma of healing to various corners of the world. Though geographically spread apart, yet they are connected through the umbilical cord of Alma Matter – Let your light shine!! This desire to strengthen the connectivity, the bond that prevailed beyond caste, creed, religion, language, state and country; the alumni association was started in the year 2003, by then Principal, Sr. Anne Marie Fernandes. It was proved to be an excellent forum where the past students could share their memories and experience, cherish the love and care and enrich one another.

The year 2003 has been the most eventful year for Alumni of the College of Nursing, St. Martha’s Hospital. The First Alumni Association Get-together happened on May 31, 2003. Alumni Members from both Diploma in General Nursing & Midwifery Course & B.Sc. Nursing Degree Course from different parts of our Country as well as abroad attended the Programme. The Get-together created a dynamic link between the Institution & Alumni.
