About CIE Hostel with Some Pictures

The Central Institute of Education set up two hostels, Shree Bhawan for women and Shakti Bhawan for men in 1950. The idea of making teachers who would be community workers was the vision behind setting up this co-ed. residential complex. The common dining facilities are part of the culture of an institutional fraternity who would run a co-operative mess in a spirit of camaraderie and community living. Dormitories in the living quarters were also part of learning to live together with a conscioueness of the need of the 'other'.

The Hostels of the Central Institute of Education, Shakti Bhawan for men, and Shree Bhawan for women, are directly under the control of the Managing Committee constituted by the Vice-Chancellor, University of Delhi. The Head of the Department of Education is Chairperson of the hostels. The Managing Committee reserves the right to make any amendments in rules and regulations, in order to ensure a smooth functioning of the Hostels.
