Ishwar Dayal Memorial Hostel

It provides people with adequate housing, shelter, and food at affordable prices. The hostel mainly consists of one bed, a room shared by two or three people, a kitchen and a shared bathroom. A hosteller, who is not under the support of his/her family, can develop a sense of independence and self-reliance. An individual can develop the habit of co-operation with friends and can learn the art of cultivating work and behaviour. Living in a hostel, that is within the campus, saves a lot of travelling time and expenses. It provides a chance to develop a bond with classmates and this could lead them to be best friends for life. A student can take help from fellow classmates in studies within the hostel if he/she has any problem or doubt with any specific topic. Hostels provide students with the best atmosphere to study. This leads to scoring more marks in the examination. When a careless and negligent student sees his fellow mate competing for the top position in the exams, he will also try to follow by taking him as an example. This tends to develop healthy competition and mutual co-operation among hostellers.
