“The project is an important step towards realising the Prime Minister’s vision to provide citizens with world-class environment-friendly mass rapid urban transport systems,” the PMO said in a statement.

In line with the PM’s vision to strengthen public health infrastructure across India, he will also lay the foundation stone of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)-Rewari. To be built at a cost of about Rs 1,650 crore, AIIMS-Rewari will be developed on a 203-acre land at village Majra Mustil Bhalkhi in Rewari.
It will boast a hospital complex with 720 beds, a medical college with 100 seats, a nursing college with 60 seats, an AYUSH Block with 30 beds, residential accommodation for faculty and staff, hostel accommodation for UG and PG students, a night shelter, a guest house, an auditorium, etc.
Established under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), AIIMS-Rewari will provide comprehensive, quality and holistic tertiary care health services to the people of Haryana.
Anubhav Kendra Jyotisar, Kurukshetra
The PM will inaugurate the newly built Anubhav Kendra Jyotisar, Kurukshetra. This experiential museum has been built at a cost of around Rs 240 crore. The museum spans over 17 acres, encompassing over 100,000 square feet of indoor space. It will vividly bring the epic narrative of the Mahabharata and the teachings of the Gita to life. The museum also leverages cutting-edge technology, including Augmented Reality (AR), 3D laser, and projection mapping to enrich visitors’ experience. Jyotisar, Kurukshetra, is the sacred site where Lord Krishna imparted the eternal wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna.
Railway projects
Modi will also lay the foundation stone and dedicate to the nation multiple railway projects. The projects whose foundation stone will be laid include:
- Doubling of 27.73-km Rewari-Kathuwas rail line

- Doubling of 42.30-km Bhiwani-Dobh Bhali rail line
- Doubling of 31.50-km Manheru-Bawani Khera rail line
The statement added that doubling these railway lines will augment the rail infrastructure in the region and help in the timely running of both passenger and freight trains.
Modi will also dedicate to the nation the 68-km Rohtak-Meham-Hansi rail line, which will reduce the travel time between Rohtak and Hisar. He will also flag off train service in the Rohtak-Meham-Hansi section, which will improve rail connectivity in Rohtak and Hisar region, benefiting the rail passengers.
