The state government has bought 80 acres of land for construction work on the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Majra village of Rewari.

As per an official, the government needs a total of 210 acres for the AIIMS project, and it already had at least 60 acres of panchayat land now from July 4 started the process of buying the remaining land for AIIMS Rewari.

Rewari Deputy Commissioner, Ashok Garg, told The Indian Express that the process to purchase land from the farmers will be complete within a week. In total, nearly 150 acres will be purchased from farmers at the rate of INR 40 lakh per acre for the project.

Union Minister of State for Planning and Corporate, Rao Inderjit Singh has said that this will be the 22nd such institute to be inaugurated and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the AIIMS at Rewari.

Rao Inderjit Singh said, “This AIIMS at Rewari will be a milestone in providing health facilities in Haryana. It will be a 750-bed hospital, with medical college, nursing college, ICU specialist and super specialist, and will have facilities to cater to around 1500 patients in OPDs daily. Apart from this, facilities of private wards, trauma beds and Ayush beds will also be available on the campus. Night shelter, guest house, a 1000 seat auditorium, hostel and residential facilities will also be built on the campus. We hope that with the setting up of this AIIMS, medical education, nursing and health related research research will get a boost in the state.”

"After the establishment of an AIIMS in Haryana, people from Rewari, Mahendragarh, Bhiwani, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Mewat, Palwal, Faridabad, as well as those from Alwar and Jhunjhunu districts of Rajasthan will benefit," he added.

About AIIMS Rewari

Rao Inderjit Singh had put a demand for AIIMS construction in front of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar during a public meeting of Bawal Vidhan Sabha a few years ago and the CM accepted the demand and made an announcement confirming the same. Rao Inderjit Singh also met PM Modi in 2018 in this regard.

At first, the government planned the construction of AIIMS in Rewari’s Manethi village. However, the government faced hurdles in getting the land in this area as most of the area was found to be part of the forest area of Aravallis. Hence, the government later planned to construct the AIIMS in Majra village.
