The hospital is named after Yashwantrao Holkar II , Maharaja of Indore, the last Holkar ruler who had envisioned & donated land and money to built such a big hospital in Indore those days. The blue print for this hospital was made in 1937,but the construction was postponed till 1946 due to World War 2.
