Answer given by the minister


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%

Jodhpur 54% 38% Completed

Patna 54.20% 29.61% 86%

Raipur 35.63% 25.93% Completed

Rishikesh 48% 36.40% 94%

The Medical Colleges at the six sites are likely to be operationalized from Academic year 2012-13 and Hospital Complex in the year 2013-14.
