Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) was formally handed over 22.43 acres of land in Narela by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), under the chairmanship of the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Delhi and Chancellor of the University, Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena. The handover marks a major step in the University’s expansion plans and the establishment of its third campus at Narela.
The land handover ceremony was held at Lok Niwas in the presence of Minister of Higher Education, Government of NCT of Delhi, Ashish Sood, reflecting the Government’s continued commitment to strengthening higher education infrastructure in the National Capital.
Vice Chairman, Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Shri N. Sharavana Kumar, Registrar GGSIPU, Dr. Kamal Pathak and Senior Officials were present on the occasion.
Sharing his views on this significant development, the Vice Chancellor of GGSIPU, Padma Prof. (Dr.) Mahesh Verma said, “The possession of land at Narela brings us closer to realising our long-cherished vision of establishing the University’s third campus. This campus will not only expand our physical presence but will serve as a future-ready academic ecosystem designed to meet emerging national and global needs.”
The Narela campus is envisioned as a state-of-the-art centre offering high demand and contemporary programmes. It will offer undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes in AI and emerging technologies, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Health and AYUSH, Film Production and Communication , Agriculture and Allied Studies, Defence and Strategic Studies, International Relations and Management, supported by strong interdisciplinary research.
Some of these new-age programmes have already started at the University’s Dwarka Campus and will be progressively shifted to the Narela Campus once the infrastructure is ready, ensuring continuity of academic activities while enabling a smooth transition to the new facilities.
At present, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University runs courses through its main campus at Dwarka and its East Delhi Campus at Surajmal Vihar. The addition of the Narela campus will significantly strengthen the University’s geographical presence and academic outreach across Delhi.
