I heard that the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) will start in Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh so is it true?

The All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are a group of autonomous public medical colleges of higher education.

These institutes have been declared by Act of Parliament as institutions of national importance.

Yeah, All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) will soon establish in Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh

AIIMS in Rae Bareli was approved by Union Cabinet in February 2009 and the detailed project report submitted for the project in July 2013 estimated its cost at Rs 1,427 crore.

In respect of AIIMS Rae Bareli Project, the Government of Uttar Pradesh has agreed to provide about 148 acres of land for setting up the Institute.

Out of this, the State Government of UP has transferred 97 acres of land in Rae Bareli to Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

The Ministry has appointed M/s. HSCC (I) Ltd. as Project Management Consultant for setting up of the Institute.

The Project Management Consultant has initiated action for inviting tender for construction of housing complex, preparation of detailed project report for medical college and hospital.

The Government of West Bengal is yet to hand over the required land for setting up of AIIMS under the PMSSY.

So far, while the construction work of OPD has been completed, the construction of residential complex worth Rs 159 crore was completed in November 2013.

While the construction work of OPD is completed, clearance to buy medical equipment and appoint manpower to run the OPD is pending.
