Apart from the meeting, there will be interaction among students, researchers and hostel authorities about facilities, amenities and food for the boarders, he told PTI.
“There will be a town hall meeting from next month where all stakeholders can open up and discuss outstanding issues to thrash out problems and disagreements,” he said.
