NEW DELHI: Delhi University (DU) will begin admissions at the newly opened Veer Savarkar College in Roshanpura, Najafgarh, from this session, its first major expansion in almost three decades. Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh announced at DU’s 92nd annual court meeting on Friday, a statement released by the varsity said.

Situated only five minutes away from DU’s West Campus, Veer Savarkar College has been built with a built-up area of 18,816.56 square meters at an estimated cost of ₹140 crore. The new facility boasts 24 classrooms, eight tutorial rooms, 40 faculty rooms, department libraries, conference rooms, and a canteen.

DU is also constructing two other campuses, the East Campus in Surajmal Vihar and the West Campus in Dwarka Sector 22. The foundation stone for these projects was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 3, 2025. This expansion is intended to ease the pressure on current colleges and enhance student access to DU’s academic facilities.
