The nursing situation in the 1860s in [[Calcutta]] and elsewhere is described on [http://books.google.com/books?id=egysl1oHBI0C&pg=PA66 page 66] of (Limited View Google Books) of ''Florence Nightingale and the Health of the Raj'' by Jharna Gourlay (2003). Read a [http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/llt/55/br_25.html review of this book] by Ruth Compton Brouwer.
"[http://www.carefoundation.org.in/Clc_3.htm Nursing in India]" by Shubhada Sakurikar states that for many years nursing training was the preserve of Europeans and Anglo-Indians. The Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy (JJ) Hospital ([[Bombay]]) was the first to train nurses in western India. The first Indian lady to come forward for nursing training was Bai Kashibai Ganpat in 1891 in Bombay, implying that European and Eurasians were training prior to this date. In the years that followed, nursing schools were established all over the country in collaboration with government, state and private hospitals.
