On November 13, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for a new All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Darbhanga, Bihar, as part of the central government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure across the country. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, PM Modi emphasized the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s dedication to improving the lives of the people through enhanced access to quality healthcare.

PM Modi remarked that the establishment of AIIMS in Darbhanga would serve as a significant milestone in addressing the healthcare needs of the region and would provide top-tier medical services to residents of not only Darbhanga but the surrounding districts. He highlighted that the project was a reflection of the government’s focus on healthcare as a critical aspect of public welfare, particularly in underserved areas.

The new AIIMS facility, expected to be a state-of-the-art medical institution, will offer world-class treatment, medical education, and research opportunities. The Prime Minister pointed out that the project is part of a larger national initiative to ensure that healthcare services are available to all corners of India, particularly in rural and less-developed regions.

“The NDA government has been working tirelessly to ensure that healthcare reaches everyone, regardless of their location. This AIIMS in Darbhanga will not only cater to the medical needs of the people but also contribute to the development of the region’s educational and employment opportunities,” PM Modi stated.

The Prime Minister also took the opportunity to emphasize the government’s broader development agenda for Bihar. He mentioned several initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure, providing better healthcare, and creating job opportunities, particularly in rural areas.

In addition to his comments on healthcare, PM Modi reiterated the NDA government’s commitment to the overall development of Bihar, underlining the significant investments being made in various sectors to boost economic growth and create a more prosperous future for its citizens.

Local leaders and ministers from Bihar expressed their gratitude for the establishment of the AIIMS in Darbhanga, stating that it would be a game-changer for healthcare in the state. The AIIMS is expected to have a transformative impact on the region’s medical services, training for healthcare professionals, and the economy.
