Union Budget: Roof for Each Family by 2022, Six AIIMs

Every family in India will have a roof over its head by 2022, India’s 75th year of independence, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Saturday.

Presenting the union budget in the Lok Sabha, Jaitley said: “A roof for each family in India by 2022 – 75th year of India’s Independence.” He said that all schemes had to be centred around the poor.

Six more AIIMS like institutions will be set up in the country, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Saturday.

Presenting the union budget in parliament, Jaitley said these would come up in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and Assam. Bihar would get a second institute modelled on the lines of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

“Keeping in view the need to augment medical services in Bihar, I propose to set up another AIIMS like institution in the state,” he said.
