DU’s East campus likely to be ready in 2026: VC

Saturday, 17 June 2023 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

Delhi University’s Vice Chancellor Prof Yogesh Singh on Friday said the construction of the Delhi University’s East Campus is expected to start next year and it is likely to be ready in 2026. The Delhi University has sent a proposal to the central government for funding for the construction of the East campus.

The university that currently has two campuses -- North and South -- had announced expansion plans a few years back. The plans envisaged the construction of East and West campuses to introduce more courses and a centre for law.  It will not only help reduce administrative burden on the north and south campuses but also spur higher education opportunities in the region.

“The construction of the East Campus will be begin in the next eight months. The process is underway. We have applied for funding with the Government of India,” Singh said. He added that the aim is to develop the East Campus on the lines of the North and South campuses.

The vice chancellor said construction of the East campus is expected to be completed by 2026-end and “we are planning to start law programmes there”. The identified land is located near the Karkardooma district courts complex and is accessible by both Blue and Red lines of Delhi Metro.

On benefits of the expansion, Singh said, “It will not only provide more opportunities for higher education but also help manage administrative work.”

The Delhi University has planned for the West Campus in Roshanpura near Nagafgarh. It had said that this will cater to students hailing from rural areas of Delhi and Haryana.  Singh, however, said that at present, there are no plans for the construction of the West Campus.
