Abstract
Health is an equilibrium of biological, physical, social and spiritual factors; the access to health should be socially, culturally and economically viable to ensure the complete state of wellbeing. Having said this community health nursing (CHN) practice at grass root level should also be in congruence to offer culturally sensitive, affordable, available and accessible care to people it serves. However, this is dependent on the quality of education a nurse acquire to work with multidisciplinary team within the community settings. In consideration to this, the development of CHN has been a great journey. The role got recognized at national level especially in undergraduate nursing curriculum. The thoughtful inclusion of the course in curriculum helped preparing nurses to understand the concept of working with people at grass root level; to empower people for their own health decision.
