AZARA, (Guwahati) 19 August — Imagine playing football in a volleyball or basket ball court. That is what the Carreno hostel boys do. In the recently held football tournament among the hostelers they could play only 5 a-sides sometimes causing injury to team mates.
“We cannot play freely and enjoy the game to the full,” says one of the regular players of the small court Mr. Pynsuklang Hujon of 5th semester (B.tech).
The Ferrando Hall hostel girls situation is worse with only two badminton courts available for play.
“We the girls need to have more sport facilities like basketball, volleyball and more indoor games facilities in the hostel”, says Ibapalei Rashir one of the hostelers of Ferrando Hall.
Assam Don Bosco University accommodates around 250 boys in Carreno Hall (boy’s hostel) and about 200 girls in Ferrando Hall (girl’s hostel) for both the Undergraduates and Post Graduates. Both the hostels consist of students from different states of North East India and few from other states and even abroad.
“If we could have a better playgroud for the boys,we might have to find out another hostel with a playground of its own but since its not easy to get in and around the area so as of for now we cannot provide playground”says the warden of Carreno Hall Brother Joby.
“We would like to provide more outdoor playground for the hostelers but due to lack of space. We have also asked for land in this area but the price is too high”, says the warden of Ferrando Hall Sister Alphonsa.
