Information technology services provider Tata Consultancy Services had conceptualised and provided the infrastructure support to implement the patient-friendly OPD at AIIMS last year.


The innovative OPD was envisaged to provide better facilities and reduce the long waiting time for the patients, besides eliminating overcrowding.



The Onam celebrations, showcasing the state's rich cultural heritage, will witness the participation of President Pranab Mukherjee, Union ministers and MPs along with a number of dignitaries.


The harvest festival, Onam is celebrated to honour King Mahabali who according to legend ruled Kerala once upon a time. It will be celebrated on September 14 this year.
