India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, established a number of educational institutions worth 13,375 INR crore throughout the nation.
On January 20, 2024, PM Modi opened the permanent campuses of IIT-Bhilai, IIT-Tirupati, and IIT-Jammu, as well as 20 new Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) and 13 new Navodaya Vidyalaya (NV) buildings around the country.
The initiative also included the inauguration of the IIIT DM in Kancheepuram, the Indian Institute of Skills in Kanpur, and two Central Sanskrit University campuses in Devprayag, Uttarakhand, and Agartala, Tripura.
The opening ceremony was conducted in Jammu’s Maulana Azad Stadium, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed confidence during the ceremonial inauguration, saying, “I have complete faith in you, and together we will develop ‘Viksit Jammu and Kashmir.'” Your 70-year goals will be achieved in the coming years under the Modi administration. Jammu and Kashmir had previously received depressing reports of violence and conflict, but the region is currently growing and advancing.”
“In the past decade, India has seen a record number of schools, colleges, and institutions constructed. 50 new degree colleges have been inaugurated in Jammu and Kashmir alone,” Prime Minister Modi announced.
“Schools were once targeted for demolition, but they are now ornamented with care. Today, healthcare facilities in Jammu & Kashmir are fast improving. Prior to 2014, there were four medical colleges in the region; now there are twelve,” the Prime Minister stated.
AIIMS Rewari
Besides these, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also laid foundation stone of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Rewari, India, on February 16, 2024. The event was attended by Haryana Governor Shri Bandaru Dattatreya, Chief Minister Shri Manohar Lal, Minister of State Rao Inderjit Singh, and Deputy Chief Minister Shri Dushyant Chautala. The Prime Minister emphasized the government’s commitment to prioritize public health infrastructure and strengthen citizen-centric health services through holistic development of the health sector. AIIMS Rewari will not only cater to Haryana’s healthcare needs but also create jobs for the youth and provide medical education opportunities. Modi also highlighted the vision of Viksit Bharat and the importance of the health sector in achieving it by 2047.
