Selvi J Jayalalithaa, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu to Shri Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India is reproduced below: “I was very happy to learn that the Government of India under your leadership intends to establish an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in all the States in a phased manner. I have also received a letter from the Union Minister of Health requesting the State Government to identify three or four suitable alternate locations for setting up of a new AIIMS in the State. While thanking you for the Government of India’s initiative, I also request you to kindly include Tamil Nadu in the first phase for setting up an AIIMS institution during the current financial year itself. For this purpose, as required by the Government of India, the State has already identified the required extent of land at Chengalpattu in Kancheepuram District, Pudukkottai town in Pudukottai District, Sengipatti in Thanjavur District, Perundurai in Erode District and Thoppur in Madurai District where lands with suitable road connectivity are already in the possession of the State Government and its agencies. Sufficient water and electricity are also available at all the five places, which also have excellent rail and air connectivity. I have already directed the State Government officials concerned to provide all the details required by the Government of India. I am very keen to ensure that an institution of the stature of AIIMS is established in Tamil Nadu, as it would substantially augment the facilities in the State for providing quality medical education and also make available high-end tertiary level health care in the public sector to benefit the poor and middle classes. Tamil Nadu has a proud record of speedy implementation of such projects and hence I request you to kindly ensure that Tamil Nadu is included in the list of States in which an AIIMS would be set up during the current financial year itself.”
