Anjali Pandit, an orphan living in Mukta Salve Girls' Hostel in Mulund run by the Social Welfare Department of Maharashtra for the past eight years, has asked to vacate the room in seven days. For Bhavanji Kamble, from Worli's Boys' hostel, the struggle is the same as he waits to appear for his final year exams.

These are just a couple of examples of troubles faced by orphans, thanks to severe delays in the academic activities. These orphans were given accommodation in government hostels under the one per cent quota reserved for them and the accommodation is given for the duration of the course they opt for.
