AIIMS to be established in Karnataka- Education News

Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has given a green signal for establishing an All India Institute Of Medical Science (AIIMS) in Karnataka, as said by the state Health Minister K Sudhakar on Wednesday.

The assurance was given during a meeting between Sudhakar and Mandaviya in New Delhi. “I thank our beloved Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviyaji for assuring an AIIMS for Karnataka. This will greatly benefit the state and further enhance the state’s health and medical education,” said Mr. Sudhakar.

Karnataka had earlier submitted a request to the Union government to start an AIIMS in the state to enhance public healthcare and medical education infrastructure, his office said in a statement. The Minister also said a DPR (Detailed Project Report) for a new National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (NIMHANS) poly trauma centre and PG institute has been submitted to the Standing Finance Committee (SFC). Once approved, the new institute will come up at Kyalasanahalli near Hennur Main Road in Bengaluru. Initially, the Karnataka government had submitted a proposal to the SFC for the construction of a medical college in 2021. However, the SFC had asked the government to focus on NIMHANS expertise in PG training.
