Introduction

1) Maintenance of discipline

resource development

Ultimate goal of Hostel Rules 2019, like all the previous ones, is to create a sensitive human

considerable knowledge about the general rules, and the rules regarding Sports and
Recreation as well as the Health Care Services.

2. However, the students seem to have limited knowledge regarding the Disciplinary
committee and the management of the hostel funds.

Hence, the management should try creating more awareness, which in turn will help
improve performance as well as transparency.
