Well, PG refers to when a person stays in someone else's house/property and pays rent for the accommodation and facilities available with it, such as electricity, water, housekeeping, and food at times. The concept of PG is generally famous in the areas closer to business centres or educational institutes because working professionals and students prefer these locations to reduce their travel time and save some money. In India, you may find PG accommodation in various configurations. The PG accommodation could be single or on a sharing basis. In the latter case, usually, two or sometimes more people share a single room. Typically, a PG consists of a food mess, in which meals, such as breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. PG collects rent monthly, in advance at the beginning of the month. To avoid managing everything from food to furniture, laundry, to grocery shopping on their own, people choose PG rooms. PG charges depend on the available facilities. It is for one to decide whether they want a single, double or triple sharing room and whether the PG stay includes food and housekeeping facilities.
