KOLKATA: The final decision has been taken that the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in West Bengal
(https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/west-bengal) will be founded in Kalyani
(https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Kalyani), and not in Raiganj.

The Mamata Banerjee government has allotted 180 acres of land worth Rs 57 crore to set up the hospital in Kalyani. The state
Cabinet has also allotted a total of 97.6 acres for the five industrial parks spread over Kharagpur, Burdwan, and Howrah.

Proposed investment at these industrial parks is Rs 10,004.25 crore with an estimated employment of 1,539 people. This apart,
the government will showcase the proposed six theme township (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/theme-township)
projects during the chief minister's London visit slated July. The government is also planning to build a satellite township off EM
Bypass near Garia. State urban development officials have been asked to prepare a report on the theme township projects
before Mamata's London trip.

State officials said each of the proposed six townships will have its own distinct features that will relate to the area's
characteristics. The focus for one might be health facilities, the other might be home to education institutions and another
could showcase industry.

One of these proposed theme townships will come up at Kawakhali (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Kawakhali) near
Siliguri in north Bengal. State government officials went to inspect the place along with north Bengal development minister
Gautam Deb last week and an 84-acre land has already been identified for the township, which the chief minister has named
Teesta City. Officials said the satellite township would include a knowledge hub.

another theme township will come up at Gajaldoba in Malda that will be named Mukta Tirtha.

The state has also chosen Kalyani as a potential area for the development of a satellite township and several plots of land there
have been identified for both residential and commercial purposes. The CM has named the Kalyani theme township Samriddhi.
