Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Saturday wrote to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya urging him to set up an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Raichur.
“Being one of the aspirational districts of the country, Raichur has lower health, education levels and per capita income than other regions. The area is also at a geographical disadvantage since it experiences extreme weather conditions. Such disadvantages have put Raichur in dire need of robust medical institutions. Establishment of AIIMS will ensure world class facilities in the region,” the CM asserted in the letter.
“There is a growing demand from the people and representatives for seeing this proposal to fruition. Kalyan Karnataka is one of our top priorities,” the letter further said.
The CM also requested the Union Minister to instruct the officials to act in this regard. He mentioned that recently, Minor Irrigation, Science and Technology Minister N S Bosaraju had recently written to Siddaramaiah urging him to push the demand of setting up an AIIMS.
