Talking about the location of the first National Institute, Naqvi pointed out that Alwar is near Mewat which is one of the most backward areas as per the Niti Ayog rankings. Also, Alwar is in close proximity with Delhi which will provide an easy access to students aspiring to take up a course in health sciences. From the skill development aspect, there are a lot of automobile industries around that area and will also help create relevant opportunities for the local residents.
