Preliminary work on the AIIMS facility for Madurai will begin this year and 50 students are to be enrolled from this academic year. However, construction work on the project will begin only in 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2026, Virudhunagar MP Manickam Tagore has said. The MP, who attended the first virtual meeting of Madurai AIIMS held on Friday and presided by the president of JIPMER Dr V M Katoch and president of the AIIMS institute committee, said one of the takeaways of the meeting was the handing over of 220 acres to the Union government. The Centre has allowed the appointment of 180 faculty members and 120 non-faculty staff for the AIIMS facility, he said. TNN
