Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday, August 25 inaugurated three new hostels at the Osmania University in Hyderabad.
The newly inaugurated buildings include boys’ and girls’ hostels. Reddy also laid the foundation stone for a new digital library.
He became the first CM to step onto the campus of the historic Osmania University since the formation of the state. Former CM and BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) had avoided the university after students opposed his entry in 2015, amid discontent over jobs..
The two new hostels, constructed at a cost of Rs 80 crore, can accommodate 1,200 students, while the two proposed hostels, to be constructed with financial support from the Tribal Welfare department, can house 300 students.
Currently, there are 25 hostels on the university campus which accommodate 7,223 students. The digital library will be constructed at a cost of Rs 10 crore.
