Colive to offer rent free accommodation for Afghan students stranded in India

Colive, prop-tech platform for rental accommodation, has come up with rent free accommodation for Afghan students stranded in India.

The company will offer 100 stay scholarships for Afghan students stranded in India. These students need to complete an online application form, submit a 30-second video, along with all KYC documents, including FRRO registration and a bonafide college certificate, to apply for this scholarship.

Students can stay rent free in any of the Colive properties spread across four cities (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune) for the current semester or until December 31st, 2021. Colive has already received 15 applications, and five Afghan students have moved into Colive’s property in Bengaluru.


“We wanted to do something in our control to offer comfort for the Afghan students who have come here to pursue their higher education. It is our small way of helping these deserving students to avail themselves of a stay scholarship that has been rolled out now,” said Suresh Rangarajan, Founder & CEO, Colive.

With the threat of bank accounts being frozen and limited contact with family back home, the mental stress that the students are going through is agonising.
