Savitri Hostel has been created to provide simple temporary living accommodations for individuals connected with the work of Savitri Bhavan.
The Hostel consists of 9 rooms providing space for total of 12 occupants. All occupants are expected to be self-supporting during their stay.
The Savitri Hostel is not a Guesthouse, nor a Charity
The Hostel functions on the ‘gift economy’ principle. No fixed charges are made for either stay or service. Those who are granted the privilege of staying in the Hostel are expected to contribute to the Mother’s Work in at least two ways:
A: By offering at least 35 hours per week of useful service at Savitri Bhavan; and
B: By offering a generous donation according to their means towards the upkeep of the Hostel in support of the Mother’s Work at Savitri Bhavan. These conditions may be waived or modified at the discretion of the Management. The amount of donation committed may be discussed with the Management beforehand. Receipts are issued by Savitri Bhavan for every offering and Indian tax-payers are eligible to receive income tax exemption on their donations.
Services offered by the Hostel include laundry and room cleaning. Meals are not provided at the Hostel. Guests may choose to eat at any of several eateries in the vicinity, and facilities are provided for storing food items and preparing light meals in the Hostel kitchen.
Cleanliness and Hygiene should prevail throughout the premises.
Guests are asked to support the Management and Staff in maintaining these conditions.
