Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Haryana's Rewari on Friday and dedicate six such hospitals in Jammu, Rajkot, Bathinda, Kalyani, Mangalagiri and Rae Bareli to the country in the following nine days. 

Country will get seven AIIMS 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone and inaugurate seven All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the coming ten days. A total of around Rs 10,000 crore has been incurred on these seven hospitals, which will also include medical and nursing colleges. 

Facilities at AIIMS Rewari

The AIIMS-Rewari will have a hospital complex with 720 beds, a medical college with 100 seats, a nursing college with 60 seats, and AYUSH block with 30 beds, residential accommodation for the faculty and staff, hostel accommodation for undergraduatr and post-graduate students, a night shelter, a guesthouse etc. The facilities include patient-care services in 18 specialities and 17 super specialities, including cardiology, gastro-enterology, nephrology, urology, neurology, neurosurgery, medical oncology, surgical oncology, endocrinology, burns and plastic surgery.

Proposal for AIIMS was passed in 2020

However, the Haryana government was unable to hand over the land at Manethi for the project as the Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) declined its proposal for conversion of forest land for the same. On September 25, 2020, the Haryana government proposed to provide 210 acres of land at another site for the establishment of the AIIMS.

Other development projects

In Rewari, the PM will also lay the foundation stone of Gurugram metro rail project which will be developed at a cost of about Rs 5,450 crore. The project, with a total length of 28.5 km, will connect Millennium City Centre to Udyog Vihar Phase-5 and merge into the existing metro network of Rapid Metro Rail Gurugram at Moulsari Avenue station near Cyber City.
