India’s premium medical college situated in the national Capital will be revamped, Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Thursday.
Discussing the plan with architects for the Maulana Azad Medical College hostel, Jain, who is the Public Works Department (PWD) Minister in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government said, “A new hostel building will be constructed. The new hostel building will enhance the capacity of the existing 438 beds to about 1,000 beds within the same budget; a cost- and design-efficient hostel building will be made.”
Jain directed the officials to focus on design while making a cost-efficient structure that would be able to accommodate more students.
"A cost-efficient building should be made, taking design efficiency into account so that more students can be accommodated in the hostel. We aim to bring down the cost of the building and at the same time not compromise with the strength and design of the structure. The officials should look for innovative ways to achieve this aim," he explained.
Jain also announced the same on Twitter. He said, "The Delhi Government is revamping the Maulana Azad Medical College Hostel with advanced facilities using modern technologies. I convened a meeting with PWD officials and architects for the same and instructed the officials to increase the design efficiency and number of rooms in the hostel."
