JNU Students' Union urges administration to allot hostel to SC, ST students on priority basis
Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) has requested the varsity's administration to ensure first year students from SC and ST categories are allotted hostels on a priority basis. In a letter to Dean of Students Sudheer Pratap Singh, the JNUSU said "the hostel allotment list for male students was yet to be published despite undergraduate and postgraduate classes starting already, causing them extreme difficulties."
In a letter, the NUSU further stated that "The classes for UG and PG batch of 2022 started on 21 and 28 November 2022, respectively. But, so far, your office has not come up with any hostel allotment list for the male students, as a result of which students are facing extreme difficulties. "Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the allotment process for male students starts at the earliest."
The JNUSU also claimed that the lack of seats in the hostel has been cited as a reason for the delay in the allotment process by the Dean of Students. The students' union suggested that the administration come up with temporary accommodations to tide over the shortage. "The Sabarmati dormitory, which has been marked as a Covid Care centre, can be converted to a dormitory for male students as there are negligible Covid cases being reported now. Similarly, other unoccupied guest houses and buildings within the campus should also be converted as temporary accommodation spaces for the students until there are vacancies available in the hostel," it said.
"Since two months have passed since the last single-seater allotment list was released and many students have submitted their thesis and vacated their rooms... it is also requested that the single-seater allotment list be put up at the earliest so that there are vacancies in the double seaters as well," the JNUSU said, as reported by NDTV.
