complexes has been undertaken as a separate activity and has started in October-November, 2008

allocated and name of construction companies engaged for setting up of the AIIMS-like institutions
are given at Annexure.
(d) & (e): Construction of residential complex at many of the sites has delayed due to site
specific issues such as encroachments, agitation from local people, and issues related to clearing
of site by State authorities such as tree cutting, removal of high transmission line, etc.
Construction of the medical college complex at Rishikesh is likely to be delayed as the
structural analysis had to be re-done. At Bhubaneswar, there has been resistance from local
people against pre-construction mobilization by the contractor. As such, the work at Rishikesh
and Bhubaneswar sites is slightly behind the schedule.

clauses have been incorporated in the tender conditions for construction of Medical College and
Hospital Complex in the AIIMS institutions being set up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha
