Founded by six members — A. Seetharaman, R. V. Subbaiah, G. Karthick, R. Srinivasalu, Laka Srinivasalu, and P. Chinna Raja, the association was formed to address the challenges faced by hostel and PG owners throughout Tamil Nadu.
The association works to resolve operational and regulatory issues, promote ethical and transparent business practices, ensure legal compliance, and support sustainable growth. A key achievement is the successful implementation of the Single Window System for Hostel Licenses through continuous representation with the Tamil Nadu Government.
Before the formation of the association, many hostel and PG
owners faced pressure, threats, and lack of local support,
especially those operating away from their native regions. To
address these challenges, six founding members came together
to form a single, unified body to protect owners’ interests
and resolve industry-wide issues collectively.
Today, the association represents over 2,000 members managing
nearly 10,000 hostels and PGs across Tamil Nadu. Legally
registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act,
1975, we work closely with government and local authorities to
ensure safe, transparent, and peaceful business operations,
primarily across Chennai, Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, and
Thiruvallur districts.

We ensure members follow mandatory standards such as valid licenses, CCTV, biometric systems where applicable, name boards, and resident registers. Being part of a registered association provides confidence, protection, and a strong collective voice for peaceful business operations.
