Redevelopment of residential colonies at West Ansari Nagar and Ayur Vigyan Nagar Campuses of AIIMS will be carried out
The Union Cabinet meeting headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved redevelopment of residential colonies at West Ansari Nagar and Ayur Vigyan Nagar Campuses of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AllMS), New Delhi on Thursday.
At a total estimated cost of Rs 4441 crore including maintenance and operational costs for thirty years, it is the by far one of the largest projects approved for Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
National Buildings Construction Corporation Limited (NBCC) will undertake the exercise to replace the existing housing stock of 1,444 dwelling units of Type I to IV with approximately 3,928 dwelling units of Type II to VI during the revamp. It will also create social infrastructure facilities including a Dharamshala in the residential campus.
The project will be completed in five years in a phased manner. "This will ease acute shortage of residential accommodation by providing 3928 residential quarters," said JP Nadda, Minister of Health.
The present residential accommodations at West Ansari Nagar and Ayur Vigyan Nagar campuses are more than 50-60 years old and have outlived their utility. They are unsafe to live in. The rapidly deteriorating condition of these old houses entails very high expenditure on their maintenance. The existing housing stock in AllMS, New Delhi demonstrates highly inefficient use of the land. Thus, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare moved this proposal for redevelopment of existing old dilapidated housing stocks. "This will entail optimum utilization of land resources as per Master Plan Delhi (MPD) - 2021 and using modern construction technology with green building norms and in-house solid and liquid waste management facilities," said a MoHFW PIB release.
