Following is an excerpt from a report in Business Standard.
… Reddy mooted a proposal to IIM-A and IIM-B in 2008, requesting them to set up an “extended campus” in the state. IIM-A is learnt to have been offered nearly 150 acres at a nominal cost and a Rs 100-crore interest-free loan.
… Meanwhile, the Bangalore-located Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is said to be considering over a similar invitation from Andhra Pradesh.
We have received the proposal from the Andhra Pradesh government and we are in talks for the next step forward,” IISc Registrar Mohan Das said. According to sources, the institute has been shown four or five land parcels and is keen on a 1,000-acre plot that is on the Karnataka-Andhra Pradesh border.
IMT’s plans on track
Incidentally, the Ghaziabad-based Institute of Management Technology (IMT) has accepted the state government’s invitation and is in an advanced stage of setting up its campus in Hyderabad — its third in the country. “We are about to begin construction on a 30-acre plot in Hyderabad. It has been over a year since the state government offered us the land. We hope the new campus will be operational by 2011,” IMT Ghaziabad Director Anwar Ali said.
Odisha should take similar proactive steps and invite campuses of IIM Calcutta, ISI Calcutta, ISB Hyderabad, BITS Pilani and other premiere institutions. Similarly, residents of particular locations in Odisha should take proactive steps such as getting together and offering land for establishment of branch campuses of existing successful institutions inside and outside Odisha.

LOK SABHA
The Government has approved setting up of six AIIMS-like institutions in the States of Bihar (Patna), Chhattisgarh (Raipur), Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal), Orissa (Bhubaneswar), Rajasthan (Jodhpur) and Uttarakhand (Rishikesh) under the first phase of Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY). It is also proposed to set up two more institutions, one each in the State of Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal in the second phase of PMSSY.
Each institution will have a 960 bedded hospital (500 beds for the medial college hospital; 300 beds for Specialty/Super Specialty; 100 beds for ICU/Accident trauma; 30 beds for Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and 30 beds for Ayush ) intended to provide healthcare facilities in 42 specialty/super-specialty disciplines.
Bids for construction of hospital and medical college complex for the six AIIMS-like institutions in the first phase are under process. The timeline for completion of these works is the second half of 2012.
This information was given by Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in written reply to a question raised in Lok Sabha today.
Following are excerpts from a report in Indian Express.
… The AIIMS at Bhopal is likely to cost Rs 849.46 crore, Bhubaneswar Rs 820.49 crore, Jodhpur Rs 777.64 crore, Patna Rs 858.43 crore, Raipur Rs 803.84 crore and Rishikesh Rs 820.15 crore.
… the officials suggested that certain operations of these new institutes should be outsourced through Public Private Partnership (PPP). Such operations include outsourcing routine/housekeeping services, hospital information system to a professionally managed agency and outsourcing of nursing orderlies and ward boys and other staff. “This strategy the health ministry officials argued would ensure minimal Group C & D employees,” a Plan panel source said. Nearly 95 per cent of the construction work for residential complexes for Jodhpur and Raipur Institutes has been completed, 45 per cent work has been completed for Patna and Rishikesh, while the construction for Bhopal and Bhubaneswar is gradually picking up,” he said. So far about 152 bids have been received including 57 for hospitals and 95 for medical colleges and hostels. “The technical and financial evaluation would be completed by March 30 and work is likely to commence by June 10,” the source said, quoting health ministry officials.

Following from PIB release http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=58927.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs today approved, in order to meet the shortage of nurses, setting up of 132 Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery (ANM) Schools under the Scheme of Upgradation / Strengthening of Nursing Services (Human Resource for Health) in the high focus states like Bihar, Chattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, North Eastern States, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and other districts in the country preferably which do not have Auxiliary Nursing and Midwifery schools.
The schools will be opened in these states at a total cost of Rs.660 crore with a cost sharing pattern of 85:15 between the Central Government and the States. The expenditure on the part of Central Government would be Rs.561 crore and the States will contribute Rs.99 crore.
The effective implementation of the Scheme is expected to increase the availability of trained nursing manpower and to improve the quality of nursing education in the backward and special category States of the country. This would also facilitate improvement in the quality of nursing services in the Hospitals.

The ad says they are expecting it to start in 2010-11. Perhaps someone from Rourkela can tell us how far the construction has progressed. Any photos would be appreciated.
March 3rd, 2010
The link is http://www.ugc.ac.in/pub/report/12.pdf. This was published in November 2008 with 500 printed copies. Its been recently put in the UGC website at number 12 in the page http://www.ugc.ac.in/pub/.
This 300 page document has all kinds of data on higher education in India and is a must read for anyone interested in higher education vis-a-vis India.
An Expressbuzz report by Sanjeev Patro tries to distill out some data with respect to Odisha from the above document. It is a good start and it made me look for the original document (Thanks), but I think a more careful analysis is needed.
