History

On July 2014,[2] in the budget speech for 2014-15, the Minister of Finance Arun Jaitley announced a budget of ₹500 crore (equivalent to ₹643 crore or US$90 million in 2019) for setting up four new AIIMS, in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and the Purvanchal region in Uttar Pradesh,[2] the so-called "Phase-IV" institutes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of AIIMS Gorakhpur on 22 July 2016.[3] An outpatient department (OPD) started on 24 February 2019[4] and the first batch of 50 MBBS students started later that year, making it one of six AIIMSs to become operational in 2019.[5] Surekha Kishor was appointed director in March 2020.[6]

Controversy

The executive director of AIIMS Gorakhpur, Dr Surekka Kishore was found to torture medical students by forcing them to show her their private and personal chats on their mobile phones and making them stand for long durations which made a couple of students unconscious. She also directed guards of the institutes to imprison the medical students in their rooms. [7] [8]
