Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Banaras Hindu University (BHU) here was today upgraded to the level of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
An MoU was exchanged in this regard between union ministries of HRD, Health and Family Welfare and the UP government at K N Uduppa Auditorium here.
"It is a historic moment and a dream that has become reality today", Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said on the occasion.
He said the IMS-BHU will get 700 additional beds and super specialty health facilities, and also assured that the institute will not face any financial problems for its upgradation into AIIMS like institution.
"The hard work was put for the last two years and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given the biggest gift to the great university. I am sure that the institute will come up as world class medical institute, getting inspiration from none other than Bharat Ratna Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya Ji," he said
