Collector inaugurates new girls’ hostel at Kannan Govt. High School in Chittoor

District Collector Sumit Kumar on Saturday inaugurated a newly constructed girls’ hostel on the premises of B.S. Kannan Government High School and Junior College here. “It is a major step towards improving educational access for girl students from economically weaker sections in the region,” the Collector said.

Addressing a gathering of students, teachers, and alumni of Kannan High School, the Collector said that the hostel would provide safe and affordable accommodation for nearly 120 girl students, enabling them to pursue their studies without the burden of high living costs. “Many students from rural and low-income families are forced to spend significant amounts on rented accommodation, and the new facility will help ease that financial strain while ensuring a secure environment,” Mr. Sumit Kumar said.
