Delhi University Approves Rs 5,889 Crore Hostel Expansion for Over 21,000 Students
Delhi University has approved a Rs 5,889-crore plan to expand hostel facilities, aiming to accommodate 21,895 students through new constructions and redevelopment of existing hostels. The plan includes multi-storey buildings at the Dhaka Complex, Surajmal Vihar, Najafgarh, and other campuses, with dedicated hostels for women and working women. While the proposal was ratified by the Executive Council, several earlier projects remain delayed due to funding and construction challenges. The plan will now be submitted to the Ministry of Education for funding approval.
