MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI GHULAM NABI AZAD)
(a)& (b): Construction of Medical College Complex and Hospital Complex at all six AIIMS-like institutions
has got delayed due to various reasons. One of the major reasons for the delay is that, though the project
was approved by CCEA in March, 2006, the Detailed Project Reports were finalized only in March, 2009 and the
revised cost estimates were approved by the Cabinet in March, 2010. In addition, due to local problems at
Bhubaneswar site, change in basic design of the building due to site condition at Rishikesh, modification
in design at foundation level due to site requirements at Patna and Raipur sites, deficient services by
Project Consultant at Jodhpur site etc., an ambitious and tight completion schedule could not be adhered
to. Various corrective measures have been taken in the course of construction.
(c): The present progress of the work at the six institutions is as under:-
Name of site Medical College Hospital Complex Residential Complex
Bhopal 54.95% 19.66% 78%
Bhubaneswar 48.62% 25.32% 21%
