The medical students across state, who have made several complaints about the inconvenience caused due to lack of hostels on the college campus, finally have some good news. The Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) said it will soon send a proposal to the Maharashtra government for construction of new hostels.

The DMER has estimated that the project would cost about Rs 350 crore. Though they don't have a final plan ready, the DMER aims to accommodate at least 100 additional students in each college.

Confirming the development, DMER Director Dr T P Lahane said, "We have received several complaints from students about unavailability of hostels. The problem started after number of seats was increased. We will make a proposal to solve the problem and send it to the state government soon."
