Guntur: All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is likely to commence the academic year for 2018-19 in AP Vaidya Vidhana Parishad building near Tenali on an ad hoc basis. Provision of AIIMS branch in the state is a commitment of the Centre expressed in the 2014 bifurcation Act.
The AIIMS authorities are making ad hoc arrangements for commencement of the academic year in a temporary accommodation as construction of buildings for the AIIMs proposed in the capital region will take some more time. The state government is insisting the Centre to launch the AIIMS branch right from the next academic year.
