Regulatory Guidelines for Hostels of Educational Institutions for Children

Abstract

Hostels of Educational Institutions for Children remained an unregulated space up till today. Several instances have been reported to the Commission regarding violation of the rights of children with regards to their entitlements due to them in hostels for the purpose of education. There are various hostels running under various schemes of the Government and privately run educational institutions. Fees are either being charged by the stakeholders in some hostels or services are offered on charity basis in some. There has been lack of uniform regulation in functioning of hostels for the purpose of Education across the country.
