The Narendra Modi government has built more AIIMS institutions in 6 years than all previous Indian Governments combined.

Although Modi's government has announced 15 AIIMS centers, the projects are still in the developmental phase.

Although Modi's government has announced 15 AIIMS centers, the projects are still in the developmental phase.Several BJP supporters have been sharing a post on social media which claims that the maximum number of AIIMS was set up since 2014 by Narendra Modi's government than all the previous Indian governments combined. We tried to analyze the obtained data and found it to be partially true.

The first AIIMS was set up in 1956 in Delhi, and then in 2003, 6 new AIIMS centers under the PMSSY scheme were sanctioned during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure. However, the NDA government collapsed, and the project was in limbo. Subsequently, the UPA government came to power, and the six AIIMS planned in the first phase became functional.

The Modi government has announced 15 AIIMS centers since it came to power in 2014, and the work is still going on, which is at various stages of completion. It is expected that all the centers will become fully functional by 2025. The status update shows that some services have already started in 16 AIIMS centers.
