The Venue
A premier institute of the country, JNU campus is a microcosm of India, drawing students from every part of the country and from every group and stratum of society. Built over 1000 acres of the rugged barren terrain of the Southern Ridge of the Aravalli hills, the university is a lush green oasis in the heart of the Indian capital city, a landscape bursting with the colours of bougainvilleas and amaltas, and is the home to a variety of animals and birds.
