Bangalore University has decided to provide free land for construction of a hostel predominately for women students of north-eastern states. In a Syndicate meeting held on Friday, a decision was taken to provide 22,000 square feet of land in the campus adjacent to National Law School of India University for the construction of a three-storied building. The land will be provided to the North Eastern Council, a Union government agency which works for the developments of students of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura.
University registrar K K Seethamma said, “During interactions with the council, they showed willingness to build a hostel for north-eastern female students.

As per the plan proposed, the three-floor hostel building will have 96 rooms and can accommodate 360 students.
