IGIMS was established on 19th November 1983, as an autonomous organization on the pattern of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. The objective was to provide super specialty medical facilities in Bihar. On 27thJanuary 1983 Cabinet approved the completion of this massive project in 4 phases within a span of six(6) years. According to the decision of State Government, 130.20 Acres of land was transferred to IGIMS. It was proposed that the hospital will be completed by 1990 with a capacity to house 1000 beds. The estimated cost was 110 crores rupees which was later revised to 133 crores. IGIMS Medical College was setup in 2011 to impart undergraduate teaching with 100 student’s admission in each batch. MISSION Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sheikhpura, Patna was setup with an objective to provide the best Medicare facilities to the peoples in and around Bihar. The Hospital aims to be the state of the art in this region. So, far, it has been successful in achieving part of its goal and IGIMS is acting hard to achieve its goals for broader interest of masses. Objectives To establish an apex centre for delivery of health and medical care of highest standard To train specialists of high order in different branches of medical services To improve the health services in the State through appropriate linkage and referral system with Medical Colleges and District and Sub divisional hospitals. To develop the continued education programme and award degree and certificates and Post Graduate degrees To develop clinical research centers for conducting investigation on the problems of human health and diseases peculiar to and prevent in this part of the country. To develop Community Health Research Centre to study and find out solutions to the problems of health of the community with particular emphasis on reproductive biology and population control. To develop research and training in basic sciences relevant to the problems andneeds of the Community. Statistics of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research(PGIMER), Chandigarh show large number of patients from Bihar, suffering from Heart Diseases, Neurology problems, Cancer, Renal Dialysis, Ophthalmic problems etc. who go to AIIMS/PGIMER. Getting treatment at AIIMS/ PGIMER puts heavy economical burden on them apart from the difficulty of travelling to a distant location and puts excessive loads on those institutions. Looking into the problem, State Government, in consultation with experts from various parts of country, decided to setup an institute of AIIMS standard so that the patients from Bihar, Sikkim, Nepal, and Bhutan etc may get best Medicare at the lowest possible expense. To achieve these objectives the institute was established and named after the Former Prime Minister of India, Smt. Indira Gandhi.

  • Is There a Conditional Convergence in the Per Capita Incomes of BIMAROU States in India?
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 1441-5429 DISCUSSION PAPER 03/16 Is there a conditional convergence in the per capita incomes of BIMAROU states in India? Ankita Mishra1 and Vinod Mishra2* Abstract: The stochastic income convergence hypothesis is examined for five BIMAROU (Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh) states in India for the period 1960–2012 using univariate Lagrange multiplier (LM) unit root test that endogenously determines two structural breaks in level and/or trend of the time series. The per capita incomes of all BIMAROU states except Uttar Pradesh are found to converge to the national average per capita income in the long run. Significant structural breaks are detected in relative per capita income series of BIMAROU states. Most of the breaks spotted in the relative per capita income series seem to correspond with periods of political uncertainty and regime changes in the state elections.

India’s first and second National Family Health Surveys (NFHS-1 and NFHS-2) were conducted in 1992–93 and 1998–99 under the auspices of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The surveys provide national and state-level estimates of fertility, infant and child mortality, family planning practice, maternal and child health, and the utilization of services available to mothers and children. The International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai, coordinated the surveys in cooperation with selected population research centres in India, the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, and ORC Macro in Calverton, Maryland.

  • Up Until 1996, the Maoist Movement in Nepal Was in a Dormant State
    Caste, Regionalism, and Political Violence: Maoist Violence in Nepal and Bihar Paper for presentation at the Annual General Conference of the Canadian Political Science Association in London, Ontario, 3 June 2005 By Binoy Shanker Prasad, Ph.D Department of Politics, Ryerson University 350 Victoria Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5B 2K3 [email protected] This is a chapter in preparation for a book, Political Violence and Diasporas in South Asia, eds. Paul Wallace and Kavita Khoury. Please inform me before making any reference to this paper. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Caste, Regionalism, and Political Violence: Maoist Violence in Nepal and Bihar Binoy Shanker Prasad, PhD Up until 1996, the Maoist movement in Nepal was in a dormant state. To Nepal’s south, in the central-eastern Indian state of Bihar, a strong Left movement has its history since the 1930s. Nepal -- until the surge of global democratization in early 1990s – was regarded largely as a quiet Himalayan Hindu kingdom with its docile citizenry and exotic tourist spots. Bihar, on the other hand, has seen many ups and downs in its democratic experience since 1947, including the politics of revolutionary (Marxist-Maoist) violence. In the post 9/11 international scene of political violence and terrorism, if a couple of stories have to be picked up from South Asia, usually secession-violence in Kashmir or the Tamil-Sinhalese ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka get most of the attention. The strategic location, ferocity or the head-count usually determine international consciousness. Also, people tend to go where the media take them. So, buried under the major international headlines related to violence and upheavals of the day are other ongoing stories either ignored or given least priority to.

  • Examining Income Convergence Among Indian States: Time Series Evidence with Structural Breaks
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 1441-5429 DISCUSSION PAPER 44/15 Examining Income Convergence among Indian States: Time Series Evidence with Structural Breaks Ankita Mishra1 and Vinod Mishra2* Abstract: This paper examines the stochastic income convergence hypothesis for seventeen major states in India for the period from 1960 to 2012. Our panel of states exhibit cross-sectional dependence and structural breaks in their per capita incomes. By including these two features in a unified testing framework, we find evidence to support the income convergence hypothesis for Indian states. The paper also suggests that the failure of other studies to find evidence of income convergence in Indian states may arise from their not taking into account potential structural breaks in the income series. Most structural breaks in relative income correspond to important events in Indian history at the national or regional level.

  • The Ironies of Indian Maoism Jairus Banaji
    The ironies of Indian Maoism Jairus Banaji Editor’s introduction “A spectre is haunting South Asia—the spectre of Maoism,” the Financial Times rather melodramatically announced in April 2006, reporting that the Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, had described Maoist guer- rillas as “the single greatest threat to Indian national security”. The scale of the Maoist-led insurgency in rural India has surprised and alarmed ruling classes for whom Marxism-Leninism was supposed to have been safely confined to the dustbin of history after 1989. The Indian Maoists have also become a subject of discussion on the left both in India and internationally. In particular, a recent article by the writer and campaigner Arundhati Roy describing her visit to a Maoist-controlled area attracted much controversy. In the following piece, the Indian Marxist scholar and activist Jairus Banaji offers a much more critical analysis of Indian Maoism than Roy pro- vides.

Congress. But its role in different social movements gave it a significant popular base. After independence was won in 1947, Congress-ruled India pursued a policy of neutrality in the Cold War that led to a strategic part- nership with the Soviet Union.
