It’s anticipated that AIIMS-Rewari will open by 2025: Vij

Anil Vij, the state minister for medical education and research, said today that AIIMS-Rewari, for which the prime minister laid the foundation stone on February 16, is scheduled to be operational by November 2025 and would cost an estimated Rs 1,646 crore.

Vij was commenting in relation to the motion for attracting attention that Congressman Chiranjeev Rao had made during the Vidhan Sabha’s budget session. He was interested in learning when MBBS courses would begin and when the OPD would be operational. He made fun of the PM for declaring it in 2019 before the stone was set in 2024 and the BJP for announcing it at Bawal in 2015. Declaring that the project was a Central one, Vij

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare made the decision to establish AIIMS in a number of states in order to address regional disparities in the accessibility to reasonably priced postsecondary healthcare services and to expand the nation’s capacity for high-quality medical education.

For the purpose of establishing AIIMS, the state government has set aside 200 acres in Manethi village, Rewari district. The land was to be leased by the gram panchayat for this reason. The application was not approved by the Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Changes due to the discovery that the site was located in the Aravalli plantation region.
