This hostel has been divided in two and one part where the girls hostel is now housed is with the Hindu Congress.
The other half is with the Hindu Educational society. They are trying to sell this part I hear! Why should this happen when the school is looking for space to house more children.
The girls hostel is kept very neat with a pond, Garden and is impressive.
