North Delhi
North Delhi lies in the region of Old Delhi
and has its own importance in the landscape of Delhi. North Delhi
has the trace of some great monuments that Mughals left behind like
Red
Fort and Jama
Masjid. Delhi’s old and popular markets are located in North
Delhi. Places like Chandni Chowk, Kashmiri Gate and Darya Ganj are
located in North Delhi. It happens to be one of the densely
populated areas of urban Delhi. Civil Lines, Model Town and
Ashok Vihar are among the posh localities
of North Delhi.
North Delhi also has the charm and glory of having the exquisite
campus of Delhi University, which
is the main education
hub of Delhi's undergraduate and post graduate studies. Another
important university called Guru Gobind
Singh Indraprastha University, also happens to be in North
Delhi. Both these Universities beckon students from all parts of
India and there has been an increase in the influx of foreign scholars
from other countries who come here for research in different faculties.
Existence of Delhi University has a special importance for North
Delhi and this is the reason why it is also called the "North Campus".
Famous colleges in North Campus
include Sri Ram College of Commerce,
Khalsa College, FMS, Kirorimal
College, Miranda House, IP
College, Hans Raj College
and Delhi School of Economics. Presence
of these colleges and the university itself has made the area being
recognized as a youth hub and the much sought after education destination
for young aspiring students. It has also helped the area economically
in terms of business, consultancy and educational institutes, which
have flourished at an alarming rate.
When we talk of North Delhi, we do refer to North Delhi's Azadpur
Mandi which has bagged the title of "Mandi of National Importance".
The mandi is a hub of vegetables, fruits and dry fruits. The Mandi
transports fruits and vegetables to different parts of Delhi and
other neighboring states.
