New Delhi, Jan 28 (IANS) The central government Wednesday proposed to set up special hostels for students from the northeast region studying in Delhi.
Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Minister Jitendra Singh ordered a sub-committee be set up consisting of representatives from offices of resident commissioners of various states as well as representatives of the DoNER ministry to identify suitable location and land for construction of such hostels.
The minister was addressing a meeting here of resident commissioners of the northeastern states.
The accessibility, security and availability of basic amenities should be important consideration while planning such hostels, an official release said.
Singh also issued instructions for carrying forward negotiations about the venues which were shortlisted as possible locations for these hostels.
The minister called upon the resident commissioners to maintain a regular and closer interaction with his ministry in a more institutionalised manner.
Singh suggested each resident commissioner could collect general information about the profile and composition of the people from his state living in Delhi. This would enable the DoNER ministry to focus its plans on specific needs of students, youth, elderly citizens, women and other sections of society from each state residing in Delhi.
