In this background, the State Government after consultation with the leading specialists of the country took the decision to set up an Institute at par with the level and standards of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

The Institute has been named after the late Prime Minister Srimati Indira Gandhi with a view to translating those aims into reality.
