Following are excerpts from http://in.news.yahoo.com/48/20080913/814/tnl-five-medical-colleges-to-be-upgraded.html.

 

Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh is expected to announce the "much-awaited" scheme to upgrade Amritsar Medical College under the Pradhan Mantri Swastha Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), Phase II, during his visit to Amritsar starting on September 15.

It is learnt that Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who has long been pressing this demand, recently met the PM for this. Amritsar is one of the five medical colleges that the Union Health Ministry has listed for upgradation under Phase II, the others being Aligarh, Nagpur, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, besides two AIIMS-like institutes in Uttar Pradesh and Bengal. "The proposal has gone to the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) and will be soon put before the Cabinet," a senior official told The Indian Express.

… While the cost of upgrading each existing site is Rs 150 crore, the AIIMS-like institutes will require an investment of Rs 750 crore each. For Phase I, meanwhile, one institute each will be set up in the states of Bihar (Patna), Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal), Orissa (Bhubaneswar), Rajasthan (Jodhpur),Chhattisgarh (Raipur) and Uttarakhand (Rishikesh).

Even though the necessary funds were approved for the Phase I sites in 2004-2005, they are yet to be completed despite the 2008 deadline. Although work on each centre has started, the Government has extended the deadline by two years.

The delay has come at a heavy price. Initially, the approximate expenditure was Rs 280 crore for each institute, but "in March 2006, financial projections were made and it was set at Rs 330 crore each. This is expected to go up to at least Rs 450 crore, as the prices of construction material have gone up," said a senior official in the Health Ministry. Officials blame the poor response of developers to their tenders as a major cause of the setback.

IIT Bhubaneswar – Why pick it over IIT Patna, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Rajasthan, IIT Hyderabad and IIT Punjab : Part II

The following is from our page http://iitbbsr.orissalinks.com/future.htm, where we look at factors that will shape the future of IIT Bhubaneswar.

IIT Bhubaneswar will be mentored by IIT Kharagpur for three years. Initial information suggests that the first year of classes will be held in IIT Kharagpur and the students will stay with the IIT Kharagpur students in one of the hostels. Most likely they will stay in the MMM Hall.

After one year, when they move to Bhubaneswar they will be able to bring with them some of the culture and traditions of IIT Kharagpur and the student  life there. Some highlights of those are : (i) Illumination and Rangoli (ii)  Spring Fest  (iii)  Techno-management festival (iv)  Hall day (v) Hostel libraries  (vi) Wing culture (vii) General championship (viii) Hall and Gymkhanna elections (ix) Hall GBMs and budgets and their spending (x) Scholars Avenue fortnightly newspaper (xi) Equal relationship between juniors and seniors – no calling seniors as Sir, bhai, bhaiyya, dada, etc.

 

The most important of these culture and traditions is the equal relationship between students at IIT Kharagpur. There every student is equal and no student fears another student. There are no big bosses or connected students in the campus who are feared by other students. Juniors call seniors by the same name that others call them; with no addition of a "bhaiyya" or "Sir." There are no physical fights in the campus. There are rivalries though; often centered around sports and cultural competitions; but NO physical fights.

This is in contrast to most other college campuses in India where students defer to their seniors and there are some students in campus to whom every body is afraid of. Thus it is great that the first batch of IIT Bhubaneswar students will spend a year in IIT Kharagpur and bring back with them the fear-free non-violent culture of the IIT Kharagpur campus.

With Professor Damodar Acharya at the helm of IIT Kharagpur, the mentoring of IIT Bhubaneswar is in good hands. Prior to being the director of IIT Kharagpur, Professor Acharya was the AICTE Chairman in Delhi and prior to that the vice-Chancellor of Biju Patnaik University of Technology, then operating from Bhubaneswar. Thus one can infer that he is well known and well connected in both Bhubaneswar and Delhi circles and this is a big advantage. For example, his suggestion that the Orissa government allocate more than the 500 acres, which the central government required, was received warmly and the Orissa government is indeed looking for a land of at least 1000 acres for IIT Bhubaneswar. So far, none of the other new IITs are thinking along those lines. Having extra land is very important as it will allow further growth of the IITs, which are being built for decades if not centuries to come. Decades later, IIT Bhubaneswar will have Prof. Acharya to thank for this foresight.

IIT Kharagpur, only 321 kms and 4.5-5hrs away from Bhubaneswar, and with 30+ trains, has many other ties with Bhubaneswar and Orissa. It has an extension center in Bhubaneswar from where it offers a PG Diploma in Information Technology and a 1.5-year part-time Diploma in intellectual property law. IIT Kharagpur professors have signed an MOU to develop a perspective plan of the Bhubaneswar metroplex and are involved in many other projects in Orissa. More than 50 faculty at IIT Kharagpur, including the Director and at least two Deans, are natives of Orissa. Thus faculty and leadership of IIT Kharagpur are familiar with Bhubaneswar and Orissa and their aspirations and are in a good position to mentor IIT Bhubaneswar. (There are many Orissa origin faculty at the various IITs and IISc who may also help IIT Bhubaneswar.)

Looking forward to the future IIT Bhubaneswar’s progress will be partly shaped by its competition and collaboration with three other marquee universities and institutions that are being established in the Bhubaneswar area.

NISER is a DAE (Department of Atomic Energy) funded institute that is admitting its second batch of students this year in 2008. The Prime Minister Dr. Mammohan Singh, while announcing the setting up of NISER said: "NISER will be at par with the IISER being established in other places but will operate under the umbrella of DAE. … When completed, I am confident that the National Institute of Science Education and Research will become a Mecca for science just as TIFR and IISc are today." Incidentally, NISER has a higher initial budget of 823.19 crores than the 500 crore budget of each of the IISERs, the 760 crore budget of each of the new IITs and the 720 crore budget of each of the WCCUs. With interdisciplinary research becoming key to solve complex grand challenges, like IISc, NISER will soon branch out to interdisciplinary centers and technological departments. With IITs also having scientific disciplines and interdisciplinary centers, down the road, IIT Bhubaneswar and NISER Bhubaneswar are expected to collaborate and compete with each other. This will drive both to excellence.

 

Recently, establishment of 14 world class central universities were announced. One of those will be in Bhubaneswar. These world class universities will have a school of medicine, and are expected to have a school of science, a school of engineering, a school of management as well as a school of liberal arts. It is said that these world class universities will be nurtured to compete with Harvard and Cambridge Universities. If that happens, the WCCU in Bhubaneswar will definitely collaborate and compete with IIT Bhubaneswar and NISER Bhubaneswar and this will drive all of them to excellence.

As of now Bhubaneswar is the only metropolitan area of the country which will have a science institute (NISER), an IIT and a WCCU. The metro areas that will have two of them are: Kolkata (an IISER and a WCCU), Pune (an IISER and a WCCU), Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar (an IIT and a WCCU), Chandigarh (an IISER and an IIT), Delhi-NOIDA (an IIT and a WCCU), Patna (an IIT and a WCCU), Guwahati (an IIT and a WCCU) and Bhopal (an IISER and a WCCU). Along with some of these metro areas Bhubaneswar will also have an AIIMS (like institute) with a budget of 332 crores as well as a IIIT.

The above is a projection to the future. But the ground reality is that it will take time for a new IIT in Bhubaneswar to catch up with the existing IITs in many respects. The existing IITs not only have an existing infrastructure and history, but also an alumni base that contributes to their growth and development. Same with respect to NISER and the well established IISc Bangalore. However, Bhubaneswar has one more trump card: the Vedanta University, that is coming up in Puri, about 40 kms and less than an hour from the outer edges of Bhubaneswar.

Vedanta University is a brainchild of industrialist Anil Agarwal, who has pledged a $1 Billion (i.e., Rs. 4,000 crores) towards it and envisions a budget of $3 Billion (i.e., Rs 12,000 crores) in making that university. The budget of this university is illuminating in its scale in that just the pledged 4,000 crores is close to the sum of the budget of two new IITs (760*2 = 1520 crores), a new IISER (500 crores), two new WCCUs (720*2=1440 crores), a new AIIMS (332 crores), and a new IIM (210.25 crores). However, the aim of the Vedanta University is to be like Stanford University and have a similar impact. In 2007, Stanford had an operating expense of $2.9 billion, an operating revenue of $3.2 billion, endowment of $17.2 billion and total asset of $29.3 billion. Hence, the 4,000 crores pledge by Anil Agarwal is only the cost of the initial phases of the Vedanta University and despite the cost differential between the US and India, to be comparable with Stanford, Vedanta University needs the 12,000 crores and perhaps more. However, the Anil Agarwal foundation has the foresight to acquire 6000+ acres of land (comparable to Stanford University’s 8180 acres) and build a city of 500,000 around the University with research parks similar to Stanford Research Park. The real estate holdings of the planned city will be able to provide Vedanta University with a sizeable endowment to realistically aim to become the Stanford of India. In the following interview of Anil Agarwal by a New York area PBS station, one can hear from the horse’s mouth about his vision for Vedanta University (starting at 3:20).

 

 

There is a high possibility that Vedanta University will not only play a significant role in Bhubaneswar and Orissa, but in all of India. Its private financing, sound financial model, lofty goals and an unprecedented donation of $1 billion, makes it likely to actually be able to hire top professors and nobel laureates, have graduate programs that rank high at the international level and produce graduates that will populate the premiere institutions and universities of India. This is relevant to the development of IIT Bhubaneswar in particular and all the IITs in general because there is a severe shortage of good academics to fill all the available positions in the IITs (and the WCCUs). In this the proximity of IIT Bhubaneswar to Vedanta University would put it at an advantage as many graduates of the later may prefer to remain in the area and maintain collaboration with their mentors and many may join IIT Bhubaneswar just to be close to Vedanta University.

Thus, with competition from, collaboration with, and synergies associated with NISER, WCCU and Vedanta University, IIT Bhubaneswar has a chance to excel and become one of the top IITs in the country. And if (a big if, but not impossible) all these institutes achieve their stated goals, then the Bhubaneswar-Puri area will have equivalents of a Stanford (Vedanta University), MIT (IIT Bhubaneswar), Berkeley (WCCU Bhubaneswar) and CalTech (NISER Bhubaneswar).

Union Health minister’s statement on delay with respect to AIIMS-like institutes

Following is from the Lok Sabha proceedings on 4/29/08.

DR. ANBUMANI RAMADOSS: … Coming to the AIIMS-like institutions, my predecessor, Shrimati Sushma Swaraj, when she was the Minister, she had launched a scheme called Pradhan Mantri Swasth Suraksha Yojana, under which they wanted to build six new AIIMS-like institutions and upgrade seven existing institutions to a certain level. Then, after that, our Government took over. At that time, since elections were there, they could not proceed further and the UPA Government took over. It is not like that with the change in Government, the policy would change. Shri Tripathy was mentioning about the political interference and all that, which I would definitely counter that. It is a continuity. Government comes and Government goes but it is a continuity. Definitely, we are following the programme. I would like to commend my predecessor, Shrimati Sushma Swaraj for bringing out that very innovative concept. I have already thanked and commended her for this. Definitely, we are going through this. Again, I would like to say that there has been a delay. I acknowledge the delay; I regret for the same. I could explain the delay, etc. In fact, the Standing Committee on Health has gone in depth into this and they were also upset. I am more upset than the Standing Committee. There has been some delay due to non-response to the tenders, etc. Work has started in Rajasthan; work would be starting in one or two months in Bhubaneswar, in Bhopal, in Patna, etc. This is how the work is distributed and it would take little more time for me.

Even though the previous Government had plans of building six new and improving seven institutions, we are now improving nearly 13 institutions – from seven we are improving 13. Kerala was not in the list of the last Government. After the UPA Government came into power, we included Trivandrum Medical College in Kerala for upgradation and allocated Rs.120 crore. Throughout the country, we have just one slab of Rs.120 crore – Rs.20 crore from the local Government and Rs.100 crore from the Central Government. We try to do that. I would like to assure my friend, Shri Tripathy and others that definitely we are trying to work out the modalities. We had split between the housing and the hospital, etc. to quicken the pace of work. Again, I would like to categorically assure the House that we are definitely into the projects, Sir.

SHRI KHARABELA SWAIN (BALASORE): Mr. Minister, are we to take it as an assurance from you that in Bhubaneswar, the work will start within the next two months?

DR. ANBUMANI RAMADOSS: Within the next three months, it will start in Bhubaneswar.

SHRI KHARABELA SWAIN (BALASORE): Okay, three months’ time is all right.

DR. ANBUMANI RAMADOSS: In three months’ time, the work will start in Bhubaneshwar.

SHRI KHARABELA SWAIN (BALASORE): Thank you.

Viswas and others: Please note that besides the six new AIIMS-like institutes the government is taking up the upgradation of 13 exisiting medical colleges  to AIIMS standard. Note that some states (UP, J & K and Andhra Pradesh) will have two of their institutes upgraded. Orissa should try to have one of its other medical colleges outside the Bhubaneswar area to be upgraded to that level. The medical colleges in Berhampur and Burla could be possible candidates.

Update: Some more ones are also in the planning stage.

In Summary:

  • Existing AIIMS in Delhi
  • 6 New ones in pipeline at Rs 332 crores each (paid by GOI) : Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, Patna, Rishikesh, Jodhpur, Raipur
  • 13 upgradations at Rs 120 crores each (100 crore paid by GOI, rest 20 crore by the corresponding state)
    • Govt. Medical College, Jammu (J&K)
    • Govt. Medical College, Srinagar (J&K)
    • Kolkatta Medical College, Kolkatta (W.B.)
    • Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow (U.P)
    • Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, Varanasi (UP)
    • Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad(A.P)
    • Sri Venkateshwara Institute of Medical Sciences, Tirupati (A.P) (50% cost of upgradation will be borne by the TTD Trust)
    • Govt. Medical College, Salem (T.N.)
    • Rajendra Institute of Medical Science (RIMS), Ranchi (Jharkhand)
    • B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad (Gujarat)
    • Bangalore Medical College, Bangalore(Karnataka)
    • Grant Medical College & Sir J.J. Group Of Hospitals, Mumbai, (Maharashta)
    • Medical College, Thrivananthapuram, (Kerala)
  • Planning stages
    • Two new ones in UP and West Bengal
    • Upgradation of five existing hospitals in Nagpur, Himachal Pradesh, Amritsar, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.

IITS, IIMS AND UNIVERSITIES OF WORLD CLASS STANDARD


20:25 IST

RAJYA SABHA

Based on the recommendations made by the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (SAC-PM), it has been decided to set up three new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), one each in the States of Rajasthan, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh during the XI plan. In order to expand the facilities for high quality management education in the North-East, the Government has decided to establish an Indian Institute of Management (IIM), at Shillong.

After considering requests of the State Governments and other relevant factors such as existing regional distribution of Central Educational Institutions in the country, it has been decided to locate 5 more IITs and 6 more IIMs in the following States :-

IITs – Himachal Pradesh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh (Indore), Gujarat and Punjab.

IIMs – Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh (Raipur), Uttarakhand and Haryana.

16 States which do not have a Central University at present, and which will get one Central University each in the 11th Plan are Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Goa. Of these, in three States, existing State Universities will be taken over by the Central Government and converted into Central Universities. These three Universities are Dr. Hari Singh Gaur University, Sagar (in Madhya Pradesh), Guru Ghasidas University, Bilaspur (in Chhattisgarh), and Goa University. It has also been decided to locate 14 world class Universities, one each in the 14 States / Regions as detailed in the Annexure. State Governments of Bihar, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh have offered land free of cost for setting up of IITs in their States. Locations of remaining Institutes / Central Universities will depend on various factors including the sites as may be offered by the respective State Governments.

A total outlay for setting up of one new IIT, with an intake capacity of 860 students is expected to be Rs. 760 crores. The total outlay for setting up of one IIM, with an intake capacity of 180 students is expected to be of the order of Rs. 210.25 crores. The estimated cost for infrastructure of a Central University with a School of Medicine, with an intake capacity of about 12700 students, would be about Rs. 720 crores spread over a period of 9 years. These new Institutes / universities will be funded by the Central Government (except cost of developed land).

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Smt. D. Purandeswari in reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.

Telegraph reports on the status of an AIIMS clone in Bhubaneswar

Following are some excerpts from that report. (Thanks to Deba Nayak for the pointer.)

The Union government would soon start construction of the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) near Bhubaneswar from December 2007.

The proposed regional centre of the AIIMS has been postponed for the past four years. Last year, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) put the Bhubaneswar-AIIMS on fast track by making budgetary allocations under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY). Official sources said a sum of Rs 330 crore has been so far sanctioned.

Replying to a query put by BJD MP Prasanna Patsani today, the Union health minister, Anbumani Ramadoss, said the construction would begin from December. “He assured me that work on the AIIMS college would begin in April 2008,” Patsani told The Telegraph. …  According to an initial estimate, a sum of Rs 280 crore would be spent on the establishment of the Bhubaneswar AIIMS. In the first phase, three departments — cardiology and cardio-thoracic, nephrology and urology and cancer centre — would be set up at an estimated cost of Rs 133 crore.

A two-storied modular building was proposed on the 100-acre site to house four operation theatres, out patient departments, diagnostic block and in patient wards. The diagnostic unit was to be equipped with sophisticated equipment such as CT scan, MRI, X-ray machines, electro-encephalogram and electro-cardiogram.

AIIMS like institutions facing problem in attracting contractors

Following are excerpts from a Business Standard report. (Thanks to Anand Shah for the pointer.)

Even as engineering and construction firms are actively partnering private players in setting up medi-cities and super-speciality hospitals, a key initiative aimed at setting up six AIIMS-like hospitals and upgrading 13 facilities is finding few takers.

The initiative is part of the prestigious Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), announced in 2005. The projects, with a total outlay of over Rs 3,500 crore, are scheduled to be completed by 2010.

Few developers have responded to the tenders for setting up six hospitals modelled on AIIMS and upgrading 13 medical colleges.

Health ministry officials said the poor response from the private sector for these projects, each worth Rs 50-100 crore, was unfortunate and needed to be seriously analysed.

"The construction boom has thrown open more projects that one can handle. We will have to market our projects well for a good response," said a ministry official.

… The tender inviting private firms to develop housing facilities for the six AIIMS-like institutions has received very few responses, forcing the government to think of floating a second tender. The tender for preparing a detailed project report (DPR), expected to close on September 24, is expected to get a similar response.

Project consultants in the healthcare segment say the government should relax the tender norms. "The archaic norms that keep most well-established players out of the tender process should be kept aside," said a consultant.

…  The apathy of turnkey consultancy and construction firms is known to be a direct result of ?hassle-free? business opportunities in the nationwide real estate boom.

The lack of response has been plaguing the project from the very beginning. It took two tenders and more than a year for the ministry to finalise the consultants for the project. The stringent quality parameters, which kept out most potential bidders, are known to be one of the reasons for the poor response.

The project, which envisages AIIMS-like institutes in Bhopal, Bhubhaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh, received the Planning Commission’s nod in the 10th Plan. The work was to begin in the 10th Plan period itself. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs cleared the project in March 2006.

… Any delay in the execution of the project will raise serious doubts about the government?s capability to add healthcare beds on time.

Progress on the AIIMS-like institutes, including the one proposed for Bhubaneswar

Following are excerpts from the current content at http://www.mohfw.nic.in/EoI_FOR_PC.htm.


Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW),Government of India, intends to set up AIIMS like Apex Healthcare Institutes one each at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh. The institutes are being set up in approximately 100 acre land already made available by State Government.

These apex institutes have been envisaged as Centers of Excellence with 500 bedded hospital, 300 additional Super-specialty and ICU beds, an independent 100 beds for Trauma Care, 30 beds each for PMR and  AYUSH  Facilities. These Institutes will provide undergraduate and post graduate medical education and medical services in 39 specialty /super-specialty disciplines. The activities of the institutes will focus on providing the highest quality of patient care services, medical education and engage in biomedical research.

HLL has been appointed ‘In-house Consultant’ by MoH&FW for implementing the project. The Project is being envisaged as Hospital and College Complex and Hostel and Residential Complex. Land at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur and Rishikesh are contiguous for the entire project while at Patna and Raipur Residential Complex are being located separately. Site Survey, Sub-Soil Investigation and Zoning plan have been completed for all the sites. Area has also been earmarked and boundary wall have been constructed.

Hospital and College Complex. The RFP Document for Design and Detailed Project Report (DDPR) has been issued to short listed firms. The DDPR Consultant is likely to be selected for each site by Nov, 2007.

Residential and Hostel Complex.  The Complex is being developed by EPC Developer on turnkey basis and Contractor for each site is likely to be selected by Sep 2007.

Hospital Furniture and Medical Equipment. The client has already constituted a committee to finalize the requirement of Hospital furniture and medical equipments. The project consultant will be required to be associated in supervision, installation and commissioning of equipment and furniture as per delivery schedule till final handing over to the hospital authorities.

The approximate cost of works per institute  for hospital and college complex is Rs 125.00 Crore.

The proposal named PRADHAN MANTRI SWASTHYA SURAKSHA YOJNA (PMSSY) has been launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to offer Speciality and Super-speciality medical care and to improve the quality of medical education by creating six AIIMS like apex healthcare Institutes at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur & Rishikesh in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand respectively.

  • The proposed Institutes shall have state-of-the-art multi-specialty /super-specialty facilities with captive hospital, medical college with annual intake of 100 undergraduates and P.G/Doctoral courses in various Specialty/Super-specialty disciplines based on Medical Council of India (MCI) norms, requisite infrastructures, nursing college, hostels and housing complexes.  The AIIMS like Institutes would be centre of excellence and completely autonomous on the line of IITs/IIMs. These Institutes would be run and managed by Government of India.
  •  These Institutes will participate in providing national leadership in the education of physicians and medical scientists, biomedical research and in the application of sophisticated medical technology to patient care. The activities of the Institutes will focus on providing the highest quality patient care services, medical education and in advancing biomedical research.
  • Hospital facilities in India attract very large crowds .The facilities being created are to be used by the poorest population of the country. It is envisaged that these facilities would be holistic in nature, economical to build, respond to the local environment and climatic conditions and create an environment which is user friendly.
  • The objectives of project development are Modular Pattern of development, ability to expand to meet future needs, be energy efficient in use of Water, Power and other scarce resources. Air-conditioned areas would be limited to essential services of the hospital functioning.
  • Service needs of these facilities plays an important part in the development of the facility. Thus building services, mechanical systems, materials of Construction and movement systems for waste management etc form a major component of these facilities.
  • The Institutes have been envisaged as centres of excellence for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, nursing education and medical services and are to be trendsetter in health research and advancement of medical sciences in India. The Institutes will provide educational facilities of very high quality comparable to the very best in the world for necessary medical manpower development.
  • The Institutes will train medical graduates, post-graduates with international levels of quality and efficiency in health care delivery.  The Institutes will implement new approaches for medical education. They will provide best facilities for postgraduate studies and research.

AIIMS-like institution in Bhubaneswar: recent links

Earlier in the month there were news items in the Orissa press saying that although the 2007-08 budget has 150 crores for the AIIMS like institutions it will be mostly spent in the upgrades of exisiting medical schools and won’t be spent in the 6 new proposed AIIMS clones. I think that is not true. As the business standard article explains, in 2006 July the Health ministry had called for tenders regarding the 6 AIIMS clones. In February 2007 they have called two separate tenders, one on consultancy and the other on buildings. These are linked below. If suitable responses are received and contracts are awarded then work might start this year.
