The VC said the university would make hostels equipped with all ultra modern facilities including provisions for microwaves, hot air ovens, water heating, proper lighting, refrigeration facilities and a comfortable living.
“We are committed to make the hostels a home away from home”, Dr Taneja told the girl inmates of Hostel No. 5 while attending a religious function organised by hostellers to mark the inauguration of newly constructed residential wing. Accompanied by Director Students’ Welfare (DSW) Dr Kulbir Singh Sandhu the Vice Chancellor gave a patient hearing to students.

Soon a canteen would be opened he added. He exhorted the students to pay full attention to their studies so as to excel in studies. Later the VC also undertook an inspection of rooms, wash rooms, hostel mess and expressed his satisfaction.
