Telangana soon to establish first-of-its-kind district women’s hostels
A first-of-its-kind district women's hostel is set to open in the State shortly, to encourage more women to pursue higher education. The Pradhan Mantri Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (PM Usha), a centrally supported project, includes 11 district dormitories for women that the Commissionerate of Collegiate education has planned to establish.
The State government proposed one district hostel for women in each of the following districts: Karimnagar, Kamareddy, Hanamkonda, Nalgonda, bhadradri Kothagudem, Mahabubnagar, Hyderabad, Khammam, Sangareddy, Rajanna Siricilla, and medchal Malkajgiri. This was discussed during a recent meeting of PM Usha's project approval board with representatives from the Central government.
In addition to having a low GPR, these districts were singled out due to their high proportion of female, ST, SC, and minority students. Each dormitory, which is expected to cost Rs. 10 crore, may house between 150 and 200 female students.
