PGIMER plans to set new hostel for resident doctors
PGIMER has plans to set up a new hostel with 256 rooms for its resident doctors. This comes amidst the demand from the doctors to meet the growing demand for on-campus accommodation. The institute faces acute shortage of hostel accommodation, with only 807 hostel rooms available for doctors with a strength of 1,652 residents. Rs 101 crore has been the estimated cost of the project.
As per updates proposed hostel will comprise four blocks, each with a basement, ground floor and three additional floors, covering a total area of approximately 13,312 square metres. The hostel will have 64 units, and each unit will have two rooms, a pantry and a washroom facility.
