The graduation ceremony of Andaman and Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Sciences (ANIIMS), Port Blair, is all set to be held today, November 7, 2023. The event will be held for the first three batches of its students who have successfully passed their MBBS course. 

Out of these three batches of students (2015, 2016 and 2017) who have successfully passed their MBBS course, four are tribals, as reported by News Drum.

As per the official website of ANIIMS, Andaman & Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Sciences, Port Blair came into being on September 1, 2015 (Academic Session 2015-16). Opening up a Medical College in Port Blair was a long cherished dream of the Islanders for almost 04 decades. 107 acres of land was allocated by the A&N Administration for the establishment of the Medical College in the mid-80s.

A & N Administration decided to establish a Medical College in Port Blair utilizing this centrally sponsored scheme whereby central funding was 75% (one-time share for the cost of the project). This funding was later reduced to 60% by the central share.

A society named Andaman & Nicobar Islands Medical Education &Research Society (ANIMERS) was constituted in late 2013 with the Chief Secretary as its Chairman and Principle Secretary of Health as its Vice Chairman with the LG as the President of the Governing Council. A Consultant to ANIMERS was hired in April 2014 with the aim of establishing a Medical College at Port Blair at the earliest.
