OU accommodating eight girls in a hostel room meant for three
The girls said that even the washrooms were fewer and all of them were dirty
Hyderabad: The steady increase in girls joining college has put Osmania University officials in a quandary. This has resulted in a lack of hostel accommodation for them, because of which around seven to eight girls are forced to share a single room meant for three.
This is also resulting in unhygienic conditions where facilities meant for a few, are being used by many, said Anitha, ABVP member. She added "We do not even have enough beds. Even the food is pretty bad."
The girls said that even the washrooms were fewer and all of them were dirty.
The situation is worse in Koti women's college where 25 girls are living in a single room that can accommodate around eight. A student from the college said that she is forced to live in a private hostel as the campus did not provide her a room.
Praveen Reddy, ABVP state president, said that in the last two years girls have been getting more admissions when compared to boys.
"The admission for boys has been restricted and the PG courses especially have seen a rise in the girl admission ratio. The girls are having a tough time adjusting themselves in small rooms as compared to boys. We have been hearing that new hostel buildings were in the pipeline for the last two years," he added.
