Running through the veins of the capital, Delhi University (DU) remains unquestionable in terms of its excellent faculty and curriculum. Founded in 1922, the university offers a wholesome experience to its students and researchers. Famously parted by location, north campus and south campus house the best colleges that fall under the proud constituency of DU.

Adding another feather in its cap, the university is setting up its third and fourth campuses, which will soon begin in Roshanpura and Shahbad Dairy area with a focus on facilitating students from rural areas. The new campuses in the southwest and northwest districts of the national capital will not only help reduce administrative burden on the north and south campuses but also spur higher education opportunities in the region.

Expanding Horizons

DU’s northwest campus will be built on 40 acre land at Shahbad Dairy in Rohini along with a research center to study plant sciences and to promote research work in the field. The new center will also focus on teaching and research in various fields of plant science including agriculture, agriculture and genetics.

Earlier on 5th of April, a group of Delhi University faculty headed by Vice Chancellor Prof. PC Joshi inspected the area for a new research centre.

Addressing the media PC Joshi said,” The university is in the process of developing a northwestern campus dedicated to investing in science, such as agriculture, agriculture, forestry and genetics and teaching and research. There is also a plan to establish a science-based campus with new courses.”

The southwest campus in Roshanpura will be built on the 10 acre land, which was allotted to the university by the Roshanpura Gram Sabha in 1989. The university plans to build a new college by 2023 at the allotted area.

The new campuses would help increase intake capacity across the different colleges and diversify teaching. The university also aims to introduce courses in agriculture or forestry with the development of state-of-the-art facilities and research centres for every field.
