The hostel is specifically meant for working women from North Eastern Region although working women from other parts of the country are also offered accommodation depending upon vacancy. This is one of the few residential hostels of its kind in Delhi which is meant exclusively for working women.
Dr. Jitendra Singh, accompanied by Secretary Mr. Vijay Kumar, Joint Secretary Mr. VB Pathak and caretakers of the hostel, visited each and every block of the premises including the dining hall, common room and the residential blocks.
