MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI ADHIR RANJAN CHOWDHURY)
(a) and (b) Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and Ministry of Railways have signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for setting up healthcare facilities on vacant
railway land, not immediately operationally required, along the railway network of
the country. Ministry of Health & Family Welfare is to develop such facilities for
the benefit of common people living in those areas, passengers and railway beneficiaries.
Pursuant to signing of MoU, it was announced in the Budget 2010-11 to set up these healthcare
infrastructures including 101 Secondary Level General Speciality Hospital and 40 Tertiary Level
Super Speciality Hospitals. Azimganj/Jangipur are not included in this list. To operationalise
the MoU, a High Power Working Group was constituted under the chairmanship of Hon’ble Minister
of State of Health & Family Welfare with senior officials from both the Ministries as Members.
The Group has identified 25 Secondary Level General Speciality Hospitals and 16 Tertiary Level
Super Speciality Hospitals for a pilot project. Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has appointed
M/s. IL & FS as Transaction Advisor for the project. The list of locations is appended.
Construction of new stadiums on Indian Railways for Sportspersons is an ongoing process
and depends upon the requirement of Railway concerned and availability of resources. At
present there is no proposal for construction of stadium at Azimganj/Jangipur.
(c) Ministry of Health & Family Welfare is to build these hospitals on the vacant railway land,
therefore, no definite time frame can be given by Ministry of Railways at this juncture.
