Vegetarian students requested the provision of sambar every night during dinner due to limited food options.

Decision: The matter will be discussed with the hostel catering authorities.

4. Separate Study Room:

Students requested a separate study room, as roommates tend to sleep early and studying in corridors is uncomfortable due to mosquito issues.

Students residing in the old building reported severe mosquito problems and requested mosquito nets.

Decision: The issue will be conveyed to the AO for necessary action.
