Union Government Builds Hostels To Reduce Commutes

In the Union Budget 2026–27, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a plan to establish one girls' hostel in every district to improve access and safety for female students. The Gender Budget rose 37.35%, with ₹10 crore earmarked for the PM’s Girls' Hostel Scheme. Experts say district hostels could shorten long commutes for students like Keya, improve lab access, and boost STEM retention.
Scoring Rationale
National Union Budget commitment raises access and safety for women students; limited implementation details and state coordination reduce immediate effect.
