The foundation stone for construction of a new OPD block in RIMS along with hostels for House Surgeons, Internees, Post Graduate, Undergraduate and Nursing students was been laid by S Sekharjit, Director, RIMS on 23^rd Feb. 2012.

Expressing happiness over the decision of the Central government to provide the required fund for construction of these buildings, Dr Sekharjit informed that the Institute has found a good consultant, namely, Hospital Services Consultancy Corporation (HSCC) Ltd (Noida), which is a Government of India Undertaking under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The HSCC Ltd has given their consultancy services to the state by hiring the best contractors from outside the state.

He pointed out that construction of a new OPD Block is essential since the present OPD of RIMS cannot serve the needs of the people. The proposed construction work on new OPD block has been initiated after a gap of 4 years when then Union Minister of Health Anbumani Ramadoss, laid the foundation stone on May, 2008.

"This is the first phase towards development of RIMS even though project is nearly 12-13 years old and just picking up the speed now. We are lucky that the government has listened to us and we also have found good consultant, good contractors and hopefully the work should be completed within 20 months", Dr Sekharjit expressed confidence.

He further informed that there would be 250 seats in the Post Graduate Boys' Hostel, 100 seats in the Post Graduate Girls' Hostel, 200 seats in the Nursing Students' Hostel, 50 seats in Internees and Surgeons' Hostel and 120 seats in the Under Graduate Ladies' Hostel, and the OPD would provide facilities for various medical tests.Corporation (HSCC) Ltd (Noida), which is a Government of India Undertaking under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
