PRAGATI Push Speeds AIIMS Rollout as Jammu and Guwahati Hit 750 Beds, Bibinagar Nears Completion

Officials say a PM-led PRAGATI review cleared last‑mile hurdles to keep Bibinagar on track for June 30, 2026 completion.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a PRAGATI review on December 31, 2025 that assessed progress at AIIMS campuses in Jammu, Guwahati and Bibinagar, according to government sources.
  • AIIMS Jammu is operating as a 750-bed hospital with specialty and super-specialty services and a medical college admitting 100 MBBS students, officials said.
  • AIIMS Guwahati has scaled up to a 750-bed facility offering care across 25 specialties and 11 super-specialties, with about 60% of patients treated free under Ayushman Bharat, according to sources.
  • AIIMS Bibinagar reached roughly 86% physical progress as of December 1, 2025, with key utility bottlenecks—assured water supply and permanent high‑tension power—resolved in May 2025, sources said.
  • Officials credit PRAGATI’s time-bound coordination for resolving issues such as land use, utility linkages and inter-agency dependencies that had delayed commissioning of these institutes.
