Thousands of students flocking to Bhubaneswar for higher education are facing a severe shortage of hostel accommodations. Major government institutions like BJB College, Rama Devi Women's University, and Rajdhani College have a minimal number of hostel seats compared to their total student strength. For instance, BJB College has only 110 seats for 1,500 students, and Rama Devi has 200 seats for 2,400 students. Some colleges lack hostel facilities entirely, while others have hostels closed for repairs, forcing students to opt for expensive private accommodations or PG stays. https://sambad.in/metro/students-rush-for-hostels-in-the-capital-12110449 #creator program
