Construction Cell- At a glance

Keeping in view the increasing load of construction related works and considering the fact that these works are to be executed expeditiously and on Mission Mode, the idea of Construction Cell was conceived in the year 2009. Although a skeleton construction cell was functioning earlier at the NRHM, SHO, but the output was not sufficient to meet the increasing demand of multidimensional works to be executed in order to take health services to the door step of the people. With this end in view, a full-fledged construction cell was created with the entrusted responsibility of planning and execution of the schemes approved in PIP for the entire state. Multifarious health related construction works have been undertaken by this cell ranging from construction of District Hospital, construction of FRUs/CHCs/PHCs, GNM School & Hostel, B. Sc. Nursing College & Hostel to micro level works like construction of sub centres/Labour Room/ Wards etc. Further, the eye-catching, sprawling Auditorium of the Guwahati Medical College & Hospital equipped with modern amenities as well as the State Drug Ware House has been constructed by NRHM, Assam.
