AIMS will be set-up at Mangalagiri

The proposed All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) will be set-up at Mangalagiri in Guntur district, said AP health minister Kamineni Srinivas. He said that state government has identified 193 acres of government land in this area that is enough for project approval.

“Union health ministry has approved the proposal for setting-up AIIMS at Mangalagiri. We will send a detailed project report (DPR) to Centre very soon. Once, it is approved we will kick-start the construction works of this prestigious project,” said the minister.

Union ministers M Venkaiah Naidu, Nirmala Sitaraman, Ashok Gajapati Raju and several others like Kambampati Ram Mohan rao are there in  New Delhi lobbying for the state. So, they may ensure health ministry approves the DPR without any delay. Earlier, Union Minister for Commerce Nirmala Sitaraman, during her visit to Vijayawada, told the people that Centre may start releasing funds to the state for various projects from October 15th. If her words are to be believed, construction works of this prestigious project may start very shortly.
