The Hindu
Information was revealed in RTI reply
A loan agreement has been signed between the Government of India and the Government of Japan for setting up an All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Madurai, revealed a reply to a Right to Information Act query submitted by R. Pandiaraja, a social activist. A source from the Health Department confirmed to The Hindu that the loan agreement was signed between the two governments for the construction of the AIIMS in Madurai in the last week of March. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for AIIMS in January 2019. There was a delay in its construction due to a delay in the signing of the loan agreement between the two governments. The Japan International Cooperation Agency, which will be funding the project, conducted a preparatory survey in February 2020.More Related News
