Delhi Approves Rs 573 Crore for New Medical College Hostels

The Delhi government has sanctioned Rs 573 crore to construct two new hostels at Maulana Azad Medical College, as per a recent announcement. This initiative, approved by the Expenditure Finance Committee and chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, aims to bolster infrastructure and improve living facilities for students.

With an increased student intake from 150 to 250 annually, existing hostel arrangements have become overcrowded, prompting the need for additional housing. Many students are currently forced to share rooms or cannot secure hostel accommodation, a situation the new project hopes to remedy.

Slated for completion in 36 months, the plan allocates Rs 269.19 crore for a female hostel at Site A and Rs 304.22 crore for a male hostel at Site B. These developments will include both basement and superstructure elements, with construction set to commence within six months.
