THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND
FAMILY WELFARE
(SHRI FAGGAN SINGH KULASTE)
(a) to (c): Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) is a Central Sector scheme and has two components, viz. (i) Setting up of AIIMS-like Institutions and (ii) Upgradation of existing Government Medical Colleges. Setting up of new AIIMS are fully funded by the Central Government. The projects for upgradation of existing Government Medical Colleges also have State share besides the funding by the Centre.
However, all the projects under the PMSSY scheme are executed by the Central Government directly through various Executing Agencies selected for the purpose and funds are released to the Executing Agencies accordingly. The State Government is also required to release the corresponding State share in the upgradation projects to the said Executing Agencies.
In view of the above, no funds are provided by the Central Government to State Governments including Andhra Pradesh.
