State hostellers face troubles
Of the 117 social welfare (SW) hostels with 10,000 students, 77 BC
hostels with 8,000 students and 25 ST hostels with 4,000 students in
Prakasam district, 59 SW, 30 BC and 17 ST hostels are in their own
buildings, the rest in tiny, private, rented ones. A total of 1,281
students of SW hostels appeared for SSC exams in which 1,091 passed and
24 hostels gained 100 per cent pass.
Similarly 1,379 students of BC hostels appeared for SSC in which 1,232 students passed and 26 hostels got 100 per cent results. Seven ST hostels gained cent per cent results as 164 students passed out of 185 appeared.
Most hostels in the district have tiny rooms, poor toilets, absence of potable water, scarcity of bed sheets and unavailability of medical treatment. State government had sanctioned Rs.18 lakh for improving amenities in hostels this year but to no avail. Last year then district collector Kantilal Dande stayed in various hostels to know hostellers’ plight under “Hostel Nidura” programme but difficulties still remains unresolved.
Girl inmates are sorely troubled due to lack of toilets and fences for their hostels. The SFI, AISF, PDSU, Kula Vivaksha Vyatireka Porata Sangham and other organisations during their survey noticed that students, especially girls were facing troubles in the absence of basic amenities.
Hostellers of the Kanigiri area are getting fluoride related diseases due to drinking fluoride-mixed ground water of borewells due to the absence of protected water supply. Student unions demand improvement of amenities and warned of agitations soon to help hostellers.
