Two new campuses coming up, Ambedkar University set to shift from Kashmere Gate site
While the Dheerpur campus, spanning 4.95 acres, is being developed at a cost of Rs 1,199.02 crore, the Rohini campus, spread across 20 acres, will be set up for a cost of Rs 1,107.56 crore, The Indian Express has learnt. Both projects received statutory clearances in 2022, and the construction is underway.
Vice-Chancellor Anu Singh Lather said the move was necessitated by infrastructural limitations and long-term maintenance costs at the existing site. 'The university building that we are functioning out of is a very old heritage building. We have maintained it well, but we will have to move out of here soon,' said Lather. 'It will take at least a couple of years for the construction of the new campuses to end and for us to relocate.'
The current campus at Lothian Road in Kashmere Gate sits on a 3-acre site housing a 400-year-old building complex.
According to the university's website, it has 'well-stocked libraries, reading rooms, online journals and computer labs,' as well as 'classrooms equipped with audio-visual equipment and WiFi connectivity'. Hostel facilities are available only for women.
In addition to Kashmere Gate, AUD has been operating a 6.5-acre campus in Karampura on Shivaji Marg since 2016-17.
Originally housing Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College and before that Shivaji College, the Karampura campus has been retrofitted with modern infrastructure. 'The Karampura campus has all the facilities that the Kashmere Gate campus have — technology-enabled AC classrooms, library, computer labs, student activity areas, playgrounds and cafeteria,' the university website states.
Currently, over 800 students study at Karampura campus, which is also home to the School of Global Affairs (since 2018), and is expected to house the School of Vocational Studies and the School of Law and Governance in the coming years. A training kitchen and restaurant have also been set up for students of tourism and hospitality programmes.
Established in 2008 by the Delhi government, AUD focuses on the humanities and social sciences and is expanding to accommodate growing academic and infrastructural needs.

Why don't you earn? Supreme Court on Rs 12 crore, Mumbai flat, BMW alimony demand
The Supreme Court on Tuesday pulled up a woman who demanded Rs 12 crore and a BMW car from her husband in alimony and observed that well-educated women should earn for themselves rather than depending on husband's money for their maintenance. Chief Justice of India BR Gavai was hearing an alimony case where a woman demanded a house in Mumbai and Rs 12 crore as maintenance in alimony after getting separated from her husband within 18 months of Justice of India BR Gavai, while hearing the alimony battle, said, 'Aap itni padi likhi hai. Aapko khudko mangna nahi chahiye aur khudko kama ke khana chahiye. (You are so educated. You should earn for yourself and shouldn't ask for it)."During the hearing, CJI Gavai questioned the scale of her demand, stating, 'Your marriage lasted only 18 months, and now you want a BMW too? One crore every month?' Highlighting the woman's qualifications, an MBA and experience as an IT expert, the Chief Justice remarked that she should not depend on alimony. 'If you are educated, you should not beg for yourself. You should earn and eat for yourself,' he woman countered that her husband is very wealthy and has even sought an annulment of the marriage by alleging she suffers from schizophrenia. 'Do I look like a schizophrenic?' she asked the advocate Madhavi Divan, appearing for the husband, argued that alimony cannot be claimed in such an extravagant manner. She pointed out that the woman was already living in a Mumbai flat with two parking spots and could generate income from it. She said, "She has to work also. Everything cannot be demanded like this."'The BMW she is dreaming of is 10 years old and has been discontinued,' Divan Gavai noted the husband's past income, Rs 2.5 crore salary and Rs 1 crore in bonuses during his employment, and directed both parties to submit complete financial documents. The bench also emphasised that the woman could not claim rights over property of her husband's woman alleged that the husband's actions led to her job loss and that he had filed a false FIR against her. To this, CJI Gavai assured, 'You file the FIR, we will cancel that too. We will direct that no party will initiate any criminal proceedings against each other.'As the hearing concluded, the court offered the woman two options — either accept a burden-free flat or Rs 4 crore and seek employment in IT hubs like Pune, Hyderabad, or Bengaluru. 'There is demand in IT centers,' said the CJI.- Ends
