Kalindi College to build hostel for northeast students
7 Nov 2014 4:53 AM IST
‘Realising the security and safety concerns of the students from northeast, we decided to have a separate hostel for them so they do not have to hunt for accommodation outside,’ Dinabandhu Sahoo, chairman of governing body said while laying the foundation stone. The hostel is expected to be operational from the 2016 session.
While it is meant exclusively for students and teachers from northeast, the rooms remaining vacant would be available to other students. Over 3,500 students are enrolled in various undergraduate courses offered by the women’s college. There is no other hostel available on campus for the students yet. ‘The fee would be subsidised so the students can avail the facilities at much cheaper rate than private accommodations.
There will also be facility for the guests to stay on campus when they are visiting the students,’ Sahoo said.
While there is 100-seater hostel for northeastern women situated in the varsity’s North campus, Kalindi College will be the first off-campus college of the varsity to have the facility.
