Darbhanga AIIMS will strengthen health infra in Bihar: PM Modi
New Delhi, September 15
The establishment of an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Bihar’s Darbhanga will strengthen the health infrastructure in the state and boost the resolve for a “healthy India”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday after the Union Cabinet gave its nod to the proposal.
In a tweet, Modi said the new AIIMS will not only train healthcare professionals, but also provide employment to the people of the region.
Commenting on the Cabinet’s approval for construction of the crucial Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor Project from Palwal to Sonepat, he said it is “big good news” for the people of the state.
दरभंगा में एम्स के निर्माण से जहां बिहार के हेल्थ इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर को मजबूती मिलेगी, वहीं स्वस्थ भारत के संकल्प को भी नया बल मिलेगा। इससे न केवल हेल्थकेयर प्रोफेशनल्स को ट्रेनिंग मिलेगी, बल्कि आसपास के लोगों को रोजगार भी प्राप्त होगा।https://t.co/kPP5WFJpil

This will facilitate the traffic in the National Capital Region and help in the development of multi-model logistics centres, he said.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) cleared the rail project, which will be completed at an estimated cost of Rs 5,617 crore and with a likely completion time of five years.
The AIIMS Darbhanga will come up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) at a total cost of Rs 1,264 crore, a statement said.
The new AIIMS is likely to be completed within a period of 48 months from the date of the approval by the Centre. PTI
