PIB reports on a Q & A on six AIIMS like institutions to be established in India and upgradation of 13 exsiiting colleges to AIIMS level. While the new AIIMS like institutions will be built at an estimated cost of Rs 322 crores each, the upgradations will be made at a cost of Rs 120 crores each.
However, eventhough the government have time and again talked about the AIIMS like institutions, there has been very little physical progress in the ground. In Bhubaneswar, a boundary wall exists, but not much beyond that. There have been some progress with respect to design and call for interests which we have mentioned in earlier writings on this topic.
