RAS question
AIIMS Jodhpur provides:
Correct answer: (D) Tertiary healthcare and medical education.
AIIMS Jodhpur provides tertiary healthcare and medical education.
Explanation
AIIMS Jodhpur is best classified as a tertiary healthcare and medical education institution. Established in 2012 as an AIIMS institution, it provides advanced healthcare and medical education. The official AIIMS Jodhpur website supports this function: it lists patient-facing services such as OPD, emergency and patient services, and it separately carries an Academics section with courses and student-related material. Together, these show its combined health-care and medical-education role. AIIMS Jodhpur is not an agricultural, mining or IT-service body; it belongs to the health and medical education infrastructure of Rajasthan.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Agricultural training is outside AIIMS Jodhpur’s role; the official site presents healthcare, patient services and academics.
- (B) Mining services are unrelated to AIIMS Jodhpur, whose official page is organised around hospital services, medical academics and institutional administration.
- (C) IT services are not AIIMS Jodhpur’s institutional function; the official site may use digital links, but the institution’s role is healthcare and medical education.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan’s social-sector infrastructure, especially the role of central medical institutions in health services and human-resource development. RAS repeats such facts because institutions like AIIMS Jodhpur link economy, public service delivery and regional development.
