India Today
Delhi Univesity Hostel accommodation is not yet prepared to be reopened. Here's how colleges are planning to reopen hostels for students.
Delhi University hostel accommodation facility will not resume like offline classes. The students will have to wait a little longer as the colleges might take a little longer to complete the process of allotment of rooms, officials said.
Following the announcement, DU colleges have sprung into action to prepare for the arrival of students, and cleaning and revamping of hostel rooms has begun. However, the application process for admission into hostels will take time, officials said.
According to sources at the Maharaja Agrasen College, hostel rooms might not be ready by February 17 since they have been closed for nearly two years.
However, college principal Sanjeev Kumar Tiwari said they are working on a 'war footing' to prepare the hostel rooms.
"The hostel has a capacity to accommodate 56 students. We have begun preparing the rooms by putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls. The room allotment process was done online," he said.
Another task for the college administration is to ensure rooms are ventilated and there is enough space for two students.
