AIIMS to shift from Darbhanga: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar
Union government had granted cabinet approval for the construction of the 750-bed AIIMS in Darbhanga on September 15, 2020, now Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said that the proposed AIIMS will be shifted to another location.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that the proposed All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Darbhanga will come up at another location. The new location will be away from the Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) campus where it is currently located.
“You already know that we wanted to convert DMCH into AIIMS. First they (Centre) had agreed. Later, they said they would instead build it separately,” Kumar told reporters in Darbhanga during his Samadhan Yatra, as reported by Hindustan Times.
Without giving any further details, he said that the location has been identified.
The union government granted cabinet approval for the construction of the 750-bed AIIMS in Darbhanga on September 15, 2020. In November 2021, the Bihar cabinet cleared the transfer of 200 acres of land for the project out of the total 227 acres that come under DMCH.
Bihar government earlier decided to allot 200 acres of DMCH land for the construction of Bihar’s second AIIMS, of which it transferred 81 acres to the Centre in September last year.
