A group of students from during their visit to New Delhi for a sports meet met Chief Minister of New Delhi Arabind Kejriwal in his office and demanded before him to provide different facilities including accommodation to the Odia students coming to the national capital for higher study and all other academic purposes. It is fact that a good number of Odia students and many from Sambalpur are coming to New Delhi every year for academic purposes.
They are preparing for the civil services exams or for other academic activities including higher studies. But accommodation is becoming a major problem for them and they are paying high rent.
“To have a permanent solution in place, we requested the Delhi CM with the specific proposal and he, while appreciating the proposal, also assured for a students’ hostel in New Delhi.
He also appreciated the performances of the Odia students in civil service and many other all India exams,” informed Sidhanta Mohanty, the escort teacher of the team.
