NAMSAI, Jul 27: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General KT Parnaik (Retd.), inaugurated the 72-room Krishna Kumari Tribal Girls’ Hostel of Arunachal University of Studies (AUS), Namsai on Saturday.  Parnaik had laid its foundation on 19th March 2024. He also distributed laptops to 55 students from various courses, who had demonstrated exceptional academic performance.
The Governor, who visited the newly inaugurated boarding facilities, lauded the AUS for its high-quality construction and thoughtful design. He said that it gels with the Aspirational District of Namsai in true spirit.
The Governor said that by providing a secure and nurturing space, the hostel facility will help remove the barriers that often prevent young tribal girls from continuing their education, be it distance, safety, or economic hardship. He said that the inclusive infrastructure, like a hostel for tribal girls, fulfills the need and also opens doors to their dreams.
While congratulating the students who received laptops, the Governor said that it is a method of empowerment. He said that a laptop is a key to knowledge and advised the students to treat it as a genuine friend, guide, and philosopher, as it will enrich their knowledge and improve their articulation.
The Krishna Kumari Tribal Girls’ Hostel has been built at a cost of ₹6 crore. It comprises 68 twin-sharing rooms and 4 single-occupancy rooms, offering safe, hygienic, and fully-equipped boarding facilities. The hostel provides nutritious meals, uninterrupted Wi-Fi, 24-hour power backup, and a secure environment, ensuring that students from the tribal communities of the Northeast can pursue their education with focus and peace of mind. The laptop distribution was part of the University’s 'Students and Alumni Upgrade Programme', aimed at supporting academic excellence and digital empowerment.
