Rajasthan Advances Medical Education with RIMS Bill

Rajasthan has taken a significant step towards bolstering its medical infrastructure and education. On Monday, the Rajasthan University of Health Services (Amendment) Bill, 2025, was introduced in the state Assembly. This crucial legislation aims to empower the state government, allowing it to grant government college status to the constituent colleges of Rajasthan University of Health Sciences (RUHS). Consequently, this will facilitate the transformation of RUHS College of Medical Sciences into the Rajasthan Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) on the established RIMS AIIMS model, mirroring the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) [2].

The Vision Behind the RIMS AIIMS Model

There is a growing need for a premier medical institute in the region. The Bill’s statement of objects and reasons clearly outlines this necessity, stating that such an institute would pioneer medical advancements. Furthermore, it intends to become a Centre of Excellence for medical education, research, and patient care across Rajasthan [2]. The Chief Minister specifically announced the establishment of RIMS, following the pattern of AIIMS, New Delhi. This initiative will introduce new dimensions to super specialty medical treatment within the state, ultimately benefiting countless patients [2, 12, 13].

The development of RIMS is envisioned in three phases. Initially, the focus will be on strengthening existing facilities and expanding super-specialty services. Subsequently, dedicated super-specialty departments will be established. Finally, the third phase will encourage extensive research and development activities [6].

Legislative Journey of the RIMS Initiative

Before the Assembly session, immediate action became necessary due to existing circumstances. Therefore, the Governor of Rajasthan promulgated the Rajasthan University of Health Sciences (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025 (Ordinance No. 1 of 2025) on July 26, 2025. This ordinance was subsequently published in the Rajasthan Gazette on August 1, 2025, ensuring the foundational legal framework was in place [2]. Health Minister Gajendra Singh Khinvsar tabled the bill in the Assembly, signaling the government’s commitment [4, 8]. The state government has also allocated a budget of Rs 750 crore for this ambitious project, indicating substantial financial backing [5, 6, 12].

Enhancing Healthcare and Medical Education

The establishment of RIMS on the RIMS AIIMS model is poised to significantly enhance healthcare services and medical education in Rajasthan. The new institute will provide advanced training for medical personnel and foster cutting-edge research. Moreover, it aims to reduce the patient load on existing large hospitals, such as Sawai Man Singh Hospital, by offering an excellent healthcare option for residents across the state [12]. The State Cancer Institute, currently under SMS Medical College, is also proposed to be merged into RIMS, further strengthening its capabilities [3, 13]. This strategic integration promises comprehensive and specialized medical care, elevating the overall health landscape of Rajasthan [11].
