The Delhi Government, under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has approved the construction
of a modern medical college and hostel complex at the Indira Gandhi Hospital campus in
Dwarka. The project, estimated to cost Rs 805.99 crore, aims to be completed by the year
2028, as per the press release issued by the CMO.

In a major push to Delhi’s healthcare and medical education infrastructure, the project
