3. AIIMS Darbhanga: Green Signal for Construction

In a massive boost for healthcare in Bihar, the proposed AIIMS Darbhanga has finally received mandatory Environmental Clearance. This project had faced delays due to land and location issues, but it is now back on track.

• The Plan: The project will be developed as a modern “Medical Township” spread over 150+ acres.
• Completion Target: Officials have set a deadline of 2029 for the project to be fully operational.
• Facilities: Once ready, it will have a 720-bed hospital, a medical college with 150 MBBS seats, and a nursing college.
• Current Status: Construction activities, including the boundary wall, have reportedly begun at the Shobhan Bypass site after PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone in late 2025.

4. Why This Matters

For students, the INI CET results determine their career specialization (MD/MS) at India’s top institutes like AIIMS Delhi, JIPMER, and NIMHANS. For the general public, the progress on AIIMS Darbhanga signals better healthcare access for North Bihar, reducing the need for patients to travel to Patna or Delhi for treatment.
