New Campus of National Defence University to be Established in Bhopal
A new campus of the National Defence University (RRU), originally located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, will be set up in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. On July 1, the Madhya Pradesh Cabinet gave in-principle approval for launching a temporary campus at the Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) campus in Bhopal.
Alongside this, the cabinet has also decided to allocate 10 acres of land near RGPV for the development of a permanent campus for RRU.
The Madhya Pradesh government will provide an annual grant of ₹1.05 crore to support the functioning of the defence university. Until the new campus is constructed, existing buildings at RGPV will be used for temporary operations.
