Principal’s Message

I am Professor Elizabeth Abraham, the Principal of Pithoragarh Group of Institutions, Bungachhina, Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand. I am privileged to be at the helm of affairs of a hardworking team of educators and professionals who are bent on creating professionals in the field of nursing and paramedical sciences.

Our esteemed faculty are highly experienced and expert in their fields. They strive to impart not just knowledge and technical know-how but also the ethics and values essential for a productive career in today’s transforming health care setting.

We at Pithoragarh Group of Institutions are strong believers in experiential learning. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure, well-equipped labs, simulation laboratories, and clinical training facilities provide students excellent opportunities to acquire hands-on skills and gain practical experience.

We do not view education as a mere means to learn facts but as a culture of inquiry, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. This process develops our thoughts, feelings, and actions, forming people who are compassionate, empathetic, and capable of leadership. We aim to prepare well-rounded people with both professional skills and human values.

To my students, I would like to say: education is a process, not an end. With perseverance and determination, you can reach your aspirations. Focus on your profession, not distractions—your parents and mentors are waiting to hear about your success.

Apart from imparting scientific know-how, our students and faculty undergo continuous education programs to stay updated with the latest developments in nursing and paramedical sciences. This emphasis on lifelong learning facilitates personal development and professional distinction.

Finally, success for a bright future demands motivation and self-assurance. We at PGI Pithoragarh are committed to making you proficient professionals as well as empathetic citizens, capable of serving society with devotion and integrity.
