Residential care for adolescents
Residential care for adolescents

- The hostel provides safety environment, supervision, peer interaction, and continuity in education.
- Children also participate in camps, recreation, and life-skills activities that boost confidence and independence.
Adolescents Care and Transition Support Through Safe Residential Care – Hostels
As children grow, RTU supports their transition into adolescence through structured residential care. From the age of 13, children move into dedicated hostels for boys and girls, where they continue their education in a safe and supervised environment until 18.
Accommodation is organised by age, grade, and gender to ensure appropriate care and a supportive learning atmosphere. RTU also operates 11 specialised hostels (six for boys and five for girls) for children who are double orphans. In line with government norms, these hostels accommodate students from grades 9 to 12, providing stability and continuity of care.
Within the hostel setting, children have opportunities to interact and build relationships with their peers, including day scholars. These interactions help strengthen their social skills, confidence, and socio-emotional development.
During vacations, RTU organises camps focused on recreation, creativity, and life-skills development, promoting independence and personal growth. Children with family support are encouraged to spend time at home to maintain important connections.
Through this model, RTU ensures adolescents are equipped with the skills, confidence, and support needed for a successful transition into independent adulthood.
