There are a lot of colleges and institutions that are mushrooming in Delhi and especially the peripherals of the city. One such location is Greater Noida. Greater Noida has established a knowledge park in the area to give land to colleges and institutions. With the setting up of numerous institutions, education is being provided in almost all the fields like engineering, commerce, management, medical and vocational training. This gives rise to the student population in this area.
Boys hostel in greater Noida are on the rise. And their main target base is the increasing number of students in the area. These students who are away from their families and do not have a dwelling in the city can avail this option. It holds especially true for boys. Tenants are usually reluctant to rent out homes to bachelors with the some fear in their mind. The rising number of boys hostels in Greater Noida provides an excellent opportunity for accommodation for these young people. It also gives parents a sigh of relief as they are rest assured of proper shelter, food and security for their kids. Some these hostels are affiliated with the colleges and some run in an independent manner.
The cost of living in an affiliated hostel can be much cheaper especially if the college is run on government aid. Thus subsidised accommodation is also available for such colleges. In an independent hostel, boys usually have more freedom to go around and have fun. And this responsibility is not taken by these independent hostels.
It is not just hostels which are on the rise. Even guest houses in Greater Noida have been significantly spreading roots. It is because of the establishment of industries and factories in and around the area. People in the industries who come for a visit only for a day or two can easily find a place to crash in one of these guest houses in greater Noida. It will be easy for them to move to and from the place of work. Guest houses also ensure a proper provision of food, clean environment and safe location. Now even companies are establishing guest houses in Greater Noida and in other locations to ensure safe and comfortable accommodation for their employees.
Such initiatives give rise to economic activities in a region. Clearly greater Noida is on the path of becoming the next industrial hub in North India.
