CW Games - DU colleges ask students to vac
New Delhi: The upcoming Commonwealth Games 2010 in the city may become a cause of worry for several Delhi University (DU) students as they have been asked to vacate their hostel accommodations by the end of this month.
Six DU colleges have asked students putting up in the hostels to vacate their rooms for a period of three months so that the hostels can be renovated to make them suitable for accommodating players during the Games.
The move by the colleges has left almost 2000 students trying to seek lodgings in other places before the new academic session begins in July. Due to the large number of students being ousted temporarily from their hostels, finding a lodging place might turn out to be problematic for these students.
The government will be providing the grants for the renovation of these hostels. Colleges have yielded to the renovation offers as this is the first time that the government is offering funds to colleges to upgrade their hostels.
All colleges on the campus would be the venues for rugby tournaments during the Commonwealth Games. The government would be providing grants ranging from Rs. 40 lakh to Rs. 1 crore for improvement of thehostels.
Principals of colleges that have asked students to vacate the hostels have said that students would have to find lodgings for only three months, after which they would be allowed to come back to better and improved accommodations.

Jamia Millia Islamia gearing up for Commonwealth Games
New Delhi: Jamia Millia Islamia is gearing up to play an important role during the Commonwealth Games to be held in October 2010.
Jamia is going to be a venue for practice sessions of Rugby 7's and Table Tennis and has consequently upgraded its games and sports facilities for the Oct 3-14 Games.
Jamia's students are also volunteering to help during the Commonwealth Games. Once the Commonwealth Games are over, the students of the university will enjoy these upgraded sports facilities, which match international standards, the university said in a statement.
"There is a lot of excitement in the Jamia campus about the Commonwealth Games and the University community is looking forward to playing an important role in the event," the university said.
The university will accommodate 700 guests on campus for which it has received funds from the government to upgrade its existing hostel facilities and infrastructure.
This infrastructure will be a permanent asset for the university since this falls under the category of 'legacy infrastructure' which means that once the games are over, they become the assets ofthe university and will be used by students.
Two new hostels (one for boys and one for girls) are being built for the purpose. The attempt of the university is to make sure that part of the new hostels are ready by September so that students do not face any disturbance in their academic calendar.
The university will remain closed from October 1-15 in the coming academic session. IANS
