He also reviewed the development of infrastructure, including a hostel with a capacity for 300 girls, staff quarters, an administrative building, an academic block, a multipurpose hall, an auditorium, and a guest house.

During the inspection of the construction work of the Women's Sports College in Lohaghat, CM Dhami had a warm interaction with a young girl.
