SHORTAGE OF WATER AND POOR LIVING CONDITIONS.

The college has seen a lot of days where students have had to survive days without water supply in the hostels. The conditions inside the hostels is cringeworthy with lack of maintenance and shortage of water. Toilets and common places often have no cleaners, lights are broken and taps are not in working conditions. [2]
