Hostel

Increasing mobility of students, to seek the education they desire, raises the demand for hostels. Hostel as a residential unit can foster community living; provide security, especially for the students, who cannot live alone, or even in small groups, in strange cities. There is a great dearth of hostels, not only in the institutions exclusively serving women but in some of the established, old co-educational institutions of the country, which in the earlier decades, largely catered to men students when there was little mobility for students to seek education in places other than their own residential locations. Today, a rural student are competing with the urban candidates and, in many cases, crowding them out in both professional programmes and also in the traditional disciplines, is one among the challenging task. Today, rural Boys constitute one –third of total enrolment, in fact, their enrolment, is growing at a faster rate in several states of the country, however, there has not been a commensurate growth of student’s hostel facilities for pursuing higher studies.
