This blog is a brief pictorial documentation of the Koena Koyna Hostel [dated 29 March 2009 when it was nearing completion].
Koena is arguably the most controversial hostel in JNU. The genesis is filled with struggle against an insensitive JNU administration, false promises, hunger strikes, struggle over electric meters, rustications, wide media coverage etc.
This is a one time documentation and will not be updated. It took me some 80 minutes to make this blog. Must see the ‘Rooms’ page; the rooms are hotel like!
If you want to know about me, read the ‘whodunit’ page. Thank you. 😀
Feel free to leave your comments on any page. 😀

Yes, it is only for girls though it was planned to be a co-ed hostel.

All this is very modern and probably not in sync with the rest of the hostels. Frankly I envy the girl students who are residents there. Our biggest problem was water scarcity I wonder if that still persists?

You are right! Certainly very modern and unlike all other hostels [the room and furniture in particular]. Water scarcity is here but rare and mostly in summer. It is certainly not the biggest problem.
