The Government of Punjab has provided funds for the construction of a well furnished hostel for the trainees of Centre for the Improvement of Working Conditions and Environment and Industrial relations Institute. This hostel will be able to accommodate around 30 trainees at nominal cost to them. The construction of this 2-storied hostel was started in 2004 and now its structure has been completed. Final finishing of the floors, bathrooms and other facilities is underway. There have been delays in completion of the hostel mainly due to addition of more facilities. The cost of project has also escalated to Rs. 17.335 million from the original envisaged cost of Rs 14.721million. The construction of hostel is likely to be completed by the end of April, 2006. With the addition of hostel we will be able to welcome our trainees from other provinces and even from regional countries to come and participate in the training and other activities we organise for the promotion of occupational health and safety at work.
