Now young entrepreneurs, some of them past students of the University are going online to help outstation students, find a place to stay if they are unable to get the limited hostel accommodation offered by colleges.

One of such initiative is findyourpg.Com, an endeavor of a group from Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC).

"A large number of students come to Delhi University from outside; in search for accommodations, they get exploited by the brokers who charge them hefty commission. To help them, we came up with this website after collecting data and information of various paying guest (PG) rooms owners in different areas," says a member of findyourpg.Com.

 

"Many of our own group members had to go through the same plight where they were exploited by the broker, we all have gone through a tough time searching paying guest accommodations in Delhi," adds the group member.

Eight students, all from SRCC, invested about a year in collecting data and information while managing their studies alongside, about all paying the guest accommodations in North Campus.

The website launched two weeks ago has been designed by quintessence technologies, the business partner of the group.

"Registering on the website is absolutely free. After a student makes query regarding paying guest accommodation, we try to match the specifications of the students according to the facilities the student needs and get back to the student as soon as we can," says the group member. MORE
