Student Housing Scheme for Students with Disabilities

Step 1: Regular students enrolled in College, Polytechnic, or ITI should form a group of 5 eligible students.

Step 2: Write an application on plain paper, including the complete bio-data of all 5 students. Attach separate certificates proving enrollment in a regular course for each student.

Step 3: Include resident certificates and Disability Certificates issued by the medical board for all students in the group.

Step 4: Obtain a certificate verifying that the distance from the applicant's original residence to the educational institution is more than 20 kilometers. This certificate should be issued by the respective Sarpanch or Panch, or Council of the Municipal Corporation, Municipality, or Nagar Panchayat.

Step 5: Submit the complete set of applications to the District Office of the Joint/Deputy Director Social Welfare.

Note: Students should submit applications annually.

• The Joint/Deputy Director of the Social Welfare District Office has the authority to approve or reject applications but must provide reasons for any rejections.
• The Joint/Deputy Director will seek the Collector's approval for all applications received.
• The approving authority must make a decision and notify the applicant within 30 days of receiving the application. The applicant will be informed whether the application is accepted or rejected.
• After acceptance of rent, an agreement in the prescribed format will be prepared with the landlord. Copies will be provided to the police station, the Joint/Deputy Director of Social Welfare, and all concerned parties.
• A monthly verification of the accommodation will be conducted, and a certificate from the landlord will be obtained, confirming that the students are residing there and not involved in any unlawful activities.
• If a student fails to reside in the rented accommodation for two consecutive months, their approval will be canceled. Approval will only be granted again upon reapplication with a valid reason.
