Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendar Modi is going to lay the foundation stone of the Medical Science & Research Institute in the Chhatapur district of Madhya Pradesh tomorrow, source said.
Over 100-bed multi-speciality hospital cum cancer research centre is being constructed by Bageshwar Dham Jan Seva Samiti in Garha village of the state.
The hospital will be the second major gift from the Prime Minister to the Bundelkhand region. Earlier, PM Modi inaugurated the Ken-Betwa river linking project during his visit to Khajuraho on the occasion of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birth anniversary on December 25 last year.
The cancer hospital, for which PM Modi will perform the foundation stone-laying ceremony, will be built at an estimated cost of Rs 218 crore. A total of 10.925 hectares of land has been identified for this project, according to an official statement.
“The hospital is targeted to be completed within 36 months. In its first phase, the hospital will have a 100-bed facility equipped with state-of-the-art machines and specialist doctors, offering free treatment to underprivileged cancer patients,” it added.
PM Modi is scheduled to arrive at Khajuraho Airport on February 23 at 12.30 p.m. from where he will head to Bageshwar Dham in an Air Force chopper.
After performing ‘bhumi-puja’ at the hospital, PM Modi will spend an hour in Bageshwar Dham before returning to Khajuraho Airport at 2.10 PM. From there, he is scheduled to leave for Bhopal, where he will attend the Global Investor Summit on February 24.
