On this link, we would like to
give you some more informations about our recent project, the extension of
the Bishop Marengo College Hostel in Dibrugarh.
The town of Dibrugarh is
situated on the banks of one of the great Indian rivers called
Brahamaputra. The town has many educational institutions run by the
government of India and also some private persons.
|
Due to the availability of
institutions for higher learning, the Don Bosco fathers thought it fit to
start a hostel which would provide safe, secure and affordable
accommodation for the students coming from low economic background. Bishop
Marengo College Hostel, Dibrugarh, the foundation stone of which was laid
on 29th March 1999 was inaugurated on 7th August
1999. It is named after an Italian Salesian Priest who worked as a pioneer
amongst the Adivasis
of Upper Assam and latter was the first Bishop of the diocese of
Dibrugarh.
There are 8 rooms, each
measuring 25 feet long and 14 feet broad, where 6 students have their
place for study and sleeping.
Up to the year 2007, there
were 32 students. But on account of great demand for hostel accommodation,
the number of seats was increased to 48 in the year 2008. This year there
are 44. There is also a room measuring 30 feet by 25 feet which is used
for various purposes like meetings, recreation, reading room, music room,
T.V. room etc. |

Then there is place for
visitors and a room measuring 14 feet by 10 feet which is used as library
and computer room. Moreover there is a room measuring 30 feet by 25 feet
used for God experience. Furthermore there is the common toilet and
bathing room used by all the hosteller. Kitchen has been recently made
where cooking is done by all the hostellers, individually.
The existing hostel is just
too much crowded. |
The Situation in the coming
years:
The demand for hostel
accommodation in the coming years is only going to increase because there
is an increase in the number of Adivasi
students passing the Matric Exam. Secondly the educational institutions in
Dibrugarh are on the increase too, where the students can find seats for
studying.
Our Proposal:
|
To construct a building
measuring 100 feet by 30 feet, in line with the existing toilet block. Of
this 20 feet will go for stair case on both sides of the building.
In the ground floor 20 feet will be utilized for cooking purpose,
another 30 feet will be a hall for eating and recreation purposes and the
rest of the 30 feet will be used for Library, consultation, meetings and
animation programmes.
In the first floor, 80 feet will be divided into rooms of
20 feet long and 22 feet broad with 8 feet verandah. |
 |
The foundation of the building could be
for 3 floors, with tin roof.
Conclusion:
Once the capacity of the
hostel is increased by building the extension, there will be 100 students
coming from labour communities of Assam Tea gardens will be greatly
assisted in the field of education.
The students pay Rs. 200/- (
two hundred only) as their hostel fees. This amount is very affordable
and thus assist the students from low income group. The other hostels
in the town of Dibrugarh charge Rs. 1500/- to Rs.2000/-, which adivasi
students cannot afford.
