Dear Friends,
We have been regularly apprising all of you through NJI, about the progress in the coming of the
twin institutions, viz. (i) Central Institute of Nursing and Research (CIN), and (ii) Elderly Care
Home (ECH).
As of now, the basic foundation structure of 3 of the 6 structures of the twin facilities has been
laid; the next is, setting of fixtures. These include, fixing of doors, windows and tiles in the total built
up area of 1,60,000 sq ft. Each stage of progression gives all of us a sense of gratification, as it marks
inching ahead towards fulfillment of the historic initiative of TNAI for setting up of the state-of-art nursing institution and the elderly
care home (in Knowledge Park-II, Greater Noida, close to Delhi).
With sound backing of the TNAI professionalism and expertise, the
CIN would have excellent faculty to provide quality nursing education
for the upcoming care-givers of the country. The ECH would
provide ideal ambience to the senior citizens to meet their distinct
needs so that they can lead a care-free, relaxed life. I personally acknowledge with gratitude, the full-hearted support
lent by you, from the conception stage of the twin-facility, and
the results are for everyone to see (refer the pictures on this page).
We are proud to inform you three of the six structures have already
been completed. However, with the work still ongoing, we look
forward to the generous donors like you to continue providing support
for this noble endeavour. I reiterate at this juncture, my dear
friends, that TNAI is a non-profit, philanthropic organisation, and
does not undertake any commercial activity. It depends solely on
the membership contribution and donations from well-wishing individuals
and organisations. We don’t have any regular in-flow of
funds to meet the expenses for executing the projects. Giving shape
to such big projects is possible only with help from like-minded individuals, corporates and bodies.
We therefore avidly look forward to continued financial help from you, in your individual capacity
in particular and from the nursing community in general. My appeal to each of you – kindly
donate generously towards the cost of construction of windows/ doors or tiles (which costs Rs. 1250
per sq ft), in your or in your spouse’s or family member or near & dear one’s name or in organisation’s
name. We solicit monetary contributions from you in multiples of Rs. 1250, which shall be acknowledged,
apart from sense of having made sterling contribution for a noble cause.
I believe, you shall respond affirmatively to this appeal and also convince others to show their
gesture by donating for this noble cause. The remittances in the form of cheque/ demand draft
should be sent to: The Trained Nurses Association of India, L-17, Florence Nightingale Lane,
Green Park Main, NEW DELHI - 110 016.
Note: Donations to TNAI are exempt from Income Tax under section 80G o f Income Tax Act.
