Along with this, 40 seats for ANM and 60 seats for GNM will be raised every year. Under 11th plan, the government introduces various sub-components for the development of nursing services.
These are as follows:

About 125 institutions have taken benefits under this scheme.
Upgradation of schools into medical colleges: As per National Health Policy, there are funds to provide training for nurses at the graduate level. Under the Development of Nursing Services, Government provides Rs. 6 crores during 11th plan for one-time assistance to the institutes. This 100% share is provided by the central government, which is given to the state government for up-gradation of schools into colleges. This funding is meant for civil work, furniture and audio-visual aids. Under 11th plan, the government also provides Rs. 3 crore each as non-recurring expenditure for upgrading the various central government schools of Nursing at LHMC, SJH and Dr. RML Hospital.

RAK College of nursing (affiliated to Delhi University) also gets funding from government for it as a center of excellence, to provide basic higher education to nursing students. It helps to strengthen the institute to develop super specialties in the medical profession. This institute also helps in the development of human health resources at undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels. The government puts all his efforts to provide quality education in specialized courses such as cardiac nursing, neurosurgery, Psychiatry, HIV/AIDS care and professional education programs and research.
Scholarship for merit students: The Government offers a scholarship program for highest recognition for the meritorious nursing students. The National Florance Nightingale Award is also given to the students for encouraging Nursing personnel. Along with the award a citation medal and cash of Rs. 50,000 (fifty thousand) is given to the students.
The estimated effects of the government incentive:
The research highlights the presence of two categories of economic support provided by the government. First, financial incentives which include monetary payment such as salary, bonus, and fee and the other is rewards which include concessions and privileges for an employer. But there is no direct monetary payment is given to nurses. Analysis of data provides information that the government should introduce some specific reward strategies to motivate a community of nurses in the future.
