TS Singh Deo Writes to CM Sai, Seeks Higher Food Allowance in Hostels
CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India Epress / ITDC News / Agencies, Raipur:
Senior Congress leader and former Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister T.S. Singh Deo has written to Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, urging the state government to increase the food allowance provided to students living in government-run hostels and residential ashrams. He has also suggested separate residential arrangements for the families of hostel and ashram wardens.
In his letter, Singh Deo highlighted the need to improve facilities and living conditions in these institutions, particularly in view of rising food costs and the daily requirements of students. He argued that the existing financial provision for meals should be reviewed so that students can receive adequate and nutritious food.
Singh Deo also drew attention to the living arrangements of hostel superintendents and wardens. He suggested that separate accommodation should be provided for their families, allowing the staff to discharge their responsibilities more effectively while ensuring privacy and convenience for their family members.
The letter raises broader concerns about the infrastructure and management of residential educational institutions, where students from different regions depend on government facilities for food, accommodation and education.
The suggestions have been placed before the Chief Minister for consideration. It remains to be seen whether the state government will review the existing provisions and take a decision on increasing food allowances and improving residential facilities for hostel staff.
