A big gift has been given in the Union Budget for women and students living in the capital Delhi for studies or jobs. The biggest challenge for women coming to Delhi from every corner of the country to fulfill their dreams is safe and affordable housing. To eliminate this problem from its roots, the government has announced to build new hostels for working women and girl students in every district of Delhi. This step will not only solve their housing problem but will also make their life in the city more convenient and safe.
New and safe hostels will be built in every district of the capital, daughters living away from home will no longer have to worry about hiding their heads.
Under this new scheme of the government, special hostels will be constructed in all the districts of Delhi. It is often seen that girl students and working women coming from other states have to struggle a lot to find a safe place in a metropolis like Delhi. Many times, due to security reasons, they have to leave the place of their choice or make compromises. Now, with the presence of government hostels in every district, they will be able to get accommodation close to their college or office. This will not only save their travel time, but they will also be able to live in a safe and government monitored environment.
You will get freedom from the arbitrariness and heavy rent of private PG operators, the burden on the pockets of girl students and working women will reduce.
The business of private PG and hostels is quite big in Delhi, where arbitrary collection is often done in the name of rent. Thousands of rupees have to be paid for a small space and many times compromises have to be made in the name of facilities. With the construction of government hostels, competition in the market will increase and the arbitrariness of private operators will be curbed. The rent of government hostels will be much cheaper than private residences, which will provide great financial relief to girl students from middle class families and low-paid working women. Now a major part of their hard-earned money will not go only on rent.
By providing a safe environment, women will be able to focus better on career and studies, parents sitting far away will also be relieved from their security concerns.
Security has always been a major concern for women and their families living in Delhi. These new hostels announced in the budget will be equipped with modern security systems, which will provide a fear-free environment to women. When living spaces are safe and stress-free, girl students will be able to concentrate better on their studies and working women on their careers. This initiative is a concrete step towards women empowerment, which will ensure that no woman has to give up her dream or her city due to lack of housing.
