    students in central university hostels, Lok Sabha answer, 27 July 2026

    sansad.in

    The Ministry of Education told the Lok Sabha on 27 July 2026, in answer to a question from Rahul Gandhi himself, that 1,12,575 students were residing in hostels across 47 central universities, out of 3,09,542 enrolled. That is about 36% of central university students, not 14%. The answer says universities are creating additional hostel infrastructure and lists scholarship schemes; it does not attribute the gap to privatisation or cost-cutting.

    The 14% figure is contradicted by the official record for central universities. The Ministry of Education's own answer to Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha question shows about 36% of central university students had hostel accommodation. The claim that privatisation and cost-cutting caused the gap is also not supported by the sources.
