The Red Shield Division and its Units have been continually striving to prepare youth for various competitive examinations at both the State and National level, so as to shape careers of the youth coming from remote corners of Tamenglong and Senapati districts, who are otherwise disadvantaged due to lack of awareness, requisite teaching facilities and infrastructure.
Of late, Red Shield Division, is preparing and motivating female candidates of the region to undertake competitive examinations for Military Nursing Service (MNS). Nearly 100 candidates from the remote areas of Manipur, have registered for taking up the objective type written test for MNS, that will be conducted on 03 Feb 2013 at Army Base Hospital, Guwahati. It has indeed been heartening to note that 95 candidates out of the total number of 306 candidates from North East India, appearing for the MNS competitive examinations at Guwahati, have been trained by the units of Red Shield Division deployed in Senapati and Tamenglong districts. Candidates who successfully clear the written examinations will be called for Military Nursing Service interview, which will be held in New Delhi, as per merit, in the month of Apr/May 2013. After the interview the recommended candidates will have to appear for medical examination before a Special Medical Board.
Successful candidates will undergo courses of training in BSc Nursing and GNM (General Nursing & Midwifery) for duration of four years and three and half years respectively at various Army Institutions situated at Delhi, Pune, Kolkata, Lucknow and Bengaluru. On successful completion of training, they will be inducted as Officers in Military Nursing Service (MNS).
