History

In 1992, the initiative of establishing a cancer hospital in Rajasthan was put forward in August. The meeting was held in the presence of Late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, the then Chief Minister of Rajasthan & Late Vidya Vinod Kala. The approval on the proposal to establish the centre was given, and the state government allotted 22166 sq. yd. of land for construction.

The Bhagwan Mahaveer Cancer Hospital and Research Centre was commissioned in 1996 by Navrattan Kothari and became operational in 1997 as a centre with values and concern for every patient. Started as a 50-bed hospital, it now has 300 beds, and an IPD block is under construction.
