RULES
The rules have been formulated and the hostellers will be bound to obey these, for effective and smooth functioning of the hostel to ensure comfortable stay of different groups and individuals. The rationale for having the rules cannot be questioned by hostellers if it does not suit some of them. 1. The Youth Hostels have been established to provide inexpensive accommodation to students who are touring. Youth Hostel, Mysore is a high pressure hostel due to excessive demand. Therefore, to provide accommodation to maximum hostellers, we have to manage the availability of beds and also economize electricity and water to achieve this, the inmates will be required to shift from one dormitory to another to ensure full occupancy and avoid wastage. 2. (a) Priority of Accommodation goes to the Groups / Hostellers who have paid advance earlier. Groups / Hostellers who have paid advance later buty merely checked in earlier will have to accept floor accommodation.
