The facilities were set up by RID 3240 at around ₹2 crore through a global grant project with RID 3282, Bangladesh, as partner. During his tenure as governor in 2019–20, PDG Das initiated the project with $30,000 as a Directed Gift to form a seed fund for the GG project.

Later, a committee was formed with Budhin Borthakur as the primary contact. PDGs Arvind Phukan (from the US), N N Dutta, Prabhat Kedia and Arijit Endow, Dr Anil Mahanta and other Rotarians from all the eight clubs in Guwahati had worked for the success of the  medical project.
