Hyderabad, Sept. 4 -- Accommodation problems have plagued three government degree colleges situated in Hyderabad's Old City, resulting in poor facilities and depriving many of a fair chance to pursue higher education.

Government Degree and PG College for Women in Hussainialam and the government degree colleges in Falaknuma and Chanchalguda are facing an acute shortage of hostel rooms, as more and more students choose to study here.

The concerned public representatives should put in more effort to provide accommodation for the institution," he tells Siasat.com.
