Hostel Crisis at ANMMCH: Students Face Accommodation Shortage
2 Aug
Summary
- Over 300 MBBS students lack campus accommodation due to capacity issues.
- Existing hostels require urgent renovation and maintenance improvements.
- A high-level meeting on August 5th will address ANMMCH's infrastructure.
A high-level review meeting in Patna on August 5th is set to prioritize the expansion of hostel capacity and other pending development works at Anugrah Narain Magadh Medical College and Hospital (ANMMCH). College and hospital officials are expected to attend amidst growing concerns regarding student housing and the institution's overall infrastructure.
The shortage of hostel accommodation has become the most critical issue at ANMMCH, recently leading to student protests that disrupted academic and hospital activities. Over 300 MBBS students are currently living off-campus due to inadequate facilities.
Existing hostels are reportedly in poor condition, requiring renovation. Officials are working to repair two abandoned hostels, which could house approximately 150 students temporarily. Efforts are also underway to reclaim Siddhartha Hostel, currently under illegal occupation, for student use.
