The Hostel Management Committee has been entrusted with the responsibility of discipline and maintenance in the Halls of Residence ("HOR"). Presently, there are 12 HORs which come within the jurisdiction of the HMC. Since there are separate HORs for boys and girls therefore the HMC is divided into two, i.e., HMC (Boys) having exclusive jurisdiction on boys HOR and HMC (Girls) having exclusive jurisdiction over girls HOR. The power and duties of the HMC are laid down in the NLU Manual and HMC Charter.
Under the NLU Manual and the HMC Charter, a reporting mechanism has been build up whereby the HMC members are to directly report to the Chief Warden in matters of gross indiscipline. One other occasion of indiscipline, the HMC Convenors are empowered to take appropriate actions which should be ratified by the Chief Warden and / or the Proctorial Board.
The HMC also carries out important function of ensuring that the HORs are maintained properly.
