New AIIMS in Bihar's Darbhanga will boost to state’s urban infrastructure: PM Modi

Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its nod to establishment of new AIIMS in Bihar's Darbhanga.

The Union Cabinet has approved the establishment of the new All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Darbhanga. While talking about this move, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it will help in strengthening the health infrastructure of Bihar. In a tweet, the Prime Minister said that the new AIIMS will not only train healthcare professionals but also provide employment to the people of the region.

"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.

Commenting on the Cabinet's approval for construction of the crucial Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor Project from Palwal to Sonipat, he said it is a "big good news" for the people of the state. This will facilitate the traffic in the National Capital Region and help in the development of multi-modal logistics centres, he said.

The rail project was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) and it will be completed at an estimated cost of Rs 5,617 crore. The project is likely to complete in next five year. 

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 approval by the Centre.
