Panjab University (PU) in Chandigarh, India, is facing significant delays in receiving funds for hostel construction from the Punjab government, with no disbursements over the past three years. The latest promise, which includes an allocation of ₹35 crore, follows a series of unfulfilled commitments, including a ₹48 crore grant announced in August 2023 that also went unfulfilled. Vice Chancellor Renu Vig expressed hope that the current allocation will be released, but skepticism remains due to past experiences. The incomplete construction of girls' hostel number 11, which only has two of its planned six floors, exemplifies the impact of these funding delays. Meanwhile, boys' hostel number 9 has not been constructed at all. Additionally, PU is awaiting ₹36.51 crore in pending dues under the Post-Matric Scholarship scheme, which has also seen delays despite a sanction letter. The funding issues are compounded by the Punjab government's failure to adhere to the 60:40 funding ratio established in 1976, further straining the university's budget and impacting student accommodations.
