Aiims To Be Renamed

The Faculty Association of AIIMS has written to Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya expressing concern over the proposal of assigning a new name to the AIIMS in Delhi, contending it will lead to a loss of the institute's identity.

The government has firmed up a proposal to give specific names to all the AIIMS, including that in Delhi, based on regional heroes, freedom fighters, historical events or monuments of the area or their distinct geographical identity.
