Delhi University to Review Rs 12,000 Crore Plan for Hostel Expansion and Redevelopment
Delhi University will hold an emergency executive council meeting on October 13 to consider a Rs 12,000-crore plan to expand hostel capacity for about 40,000 students and redevelop three of its oldest hostels: Jubilee Hall, International Students House, and the Postgraduate Men's Hostel. The finance committee approved the proposal, which aims to address the shortage of on-campus housing highlighted after a September building collapse in Satya Niketan. The plan will be sent to the education ministry for further approval if endorsed by the council.
