SOR Statement of Objects and Reasons

All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (Amendment) Act, 20121

Prefatory Note-Statement of Objects and Reasons.-The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956 (AIIMS Act) was enacted to provide for the establishment of an All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The main object of the aforesaid Act is to provide a high standard of medical education, both post-graduate and under-graduate, for all medical colleges and other allied institutions in the country to improve professional competence among medical practitioners and to attain self-sufficiency in post-graduate medical education and to promote medical research.

2. The Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana scheme was announced on the 15th August, 2003 with the objective of correcting the imbalances in the availability of affordable or reliable tertiary level healthcare and also for improving facilities for quality medical education in the States. In pursuance of the said scheme, initially six All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (in addition to the AIIMS, New Delhi established under the AIIMS Act) one each in the States of Bihar (Patna), Chhattisgarh (Raipur), Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal), Odisha (Bhubaneswar), Rajasthan (Jodhpur) and Uttarakhand (Rishikesh) were set up under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, broadly similar to the existing AIIMS, New Delhi. The Central Government has also taken a decision to set up in future (in the second phase) two more All-India Medical Sciences, broadly similar to the existing AIIMS, New Delhi.

3. The aforesaid six All-India Medical Institutes of Medical Sciences were registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 as an interim measure. These Institutes set up under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 do not have authority to impart medical education and grant degrees or diplomas in the field of medical education. In order to make them operational for imparting medical education, the said six All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences (similar to the existing AIIMS, New Delhi) and such other institutions to be established in future, are proposed to be given statutory status by amending the AIIMS Act. The six States in which the aforesaid six Institutes were established had requested the Central Government to make them operational urgently and to commence the academic session at the aforesaid six All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences in September, 2012.

4. As Parliament was not in session and immediate steps were required to be taken to commence the academic session at the aforesaid six All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences in September, 2012 and make necessary amendments to the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956, the President was pleased to promulgate the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (Amendment) Ordinance, 2012.

5. It is proposed to introduce the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (Amendment) Bill, 2012, replacing the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (Amendment) Ordinance, 2012, which, inter alia, provides for-

(a) amending the long title of the AIIMS Act to provide for establishment of more than one All-India Institute of Medical Sciences at various locations in different States, instead of the one existing All-India Institute of Medical Sciences at New Delhi, as provide in the said Act;

(b) changing the status of the aforesaid six All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences already registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, to be an autonomous body corporate on the lines of the existing All-India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi;

(c) conferring power upon the Central Government to establish more than one All-India Institute of Medical Sciences, at such places as may be specified by it, by notification in the Official Gazette;

(d) declaring that the aforesaid six All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences established as societies under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 after their incorporation as autonomous body corporates (after enactment of the Bill) and every Institute to be established in future under the AIIMS Act (after enactment of the Bill) would also to be an institution of national importance;

(e) making provisions so as to provide that all the aforesaid six All-India Institutes of Medical Sciences would be similar to the existing AIIMS, New Delhi broadly in respect of all matters including nomination of Vice-Chancellor, appointment of President, constitution of the General Body and service matters of staff, etc.;

(f) conferring power upon the Central Government to make transitory provisions by notification so as to specify such measures as it may consider necessary for the smooth and efficient functioning of the Institutes, other than the existing All-India Institute of Medical Sciences.

6. The Notes on clauses explain the various provisions contained in the Bill.

7. The Bill seeks to replace the aforesaid Ordinance.
