Nagpur: The Maharashtra government on Thursday awarded a unified administrative approval for building of a 200-strong hostel in Nagpur University (NU) for women belonging to both minorities.According to minority affairs minister Nawab Malik, the hostel will help the women in minority communities to pursue higher education in the university without even fretting about lodging.
Pupils from Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain and other spiritual communities could find the advantage of their new centre.
“A tender note will be issued and following conclusion of organisational agendas, the true work would begin soon.
We have approved a funding of Rs14.82 crore for your construction,” the ministry said.The choice to construct hostels for students in the minority communities from all of the areas of the country as well was accepted from the minority advancement department led by Malik, and the elderly NCP spokesperson.
“Nagpur is an important educational center in Vidarbha.
Students from rural in addition to metropolitan regions from all around the country arrive here in order to pursue schooling.
However, most from inferior strata of this society have been at a disadvantage because of lack of lodging.
Often, it contributes to women dropping out of high education.
To stop it, it’s been determined to develop exceptional women hostels in towns with great education centers,” the ministry stated.
