Did you know that one district in Haryana has earned a special reputation because students from many places travel there just to study? Over the years, it has become a centre of learning, filled with colleges, institutes, and training academies.
The atmosphere of this place feels very different from a typical city. Instead of only markets and offices, you will find libraries, classrooms, hostels, and coaching centres almost everywhere. Education is truly a part of daily life here.
Parents often dream of sending their children to study in this district because it offers many options. From school education to professional courses, students can prepare for careers in engineering, medicine, teaching, and government jobs.
Many young people spend years here preparing for competitive exams. Because of this, the city stays lively with students discussing studies in parks, tea stalls, and study rooms.
Due to its strong focus on learning and academic growth, the district proudly carries a popular nickname connected with education.
Haryana covers an area of about 44,212 square kilometres in northern India. The state currently has 23 districts and 6 administrative divisions.
It also includes several urban bodies such as municipal corporations, municipal councils and committees. Haryana sends representatives to the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and has a 90-member Legislative Assembly.
Due to its location around Delhi-NCR, the state has rapidly developed in transport, infrastructure, industries and education.
The district known as the Education City of Haryana is Sonipat (Sonepat). This title was given because a very large number of universities, colleges and research institutions have been built here, especially inside a specially planned academic zone.
The biggest reason Sonipat received this name is the development of Rajiv Gandhi Education City.
The Haryana Government planned this mega project to create a single place where top educational institutes could operate together.
Today, the area has become an important national learning hub where students from many states come for higher studies.
Rajiv Gandhi Education City has been developed across about 2000 acres of land.
The main objective of the project is:
If you visit the campus area, you can see many large universities located along the same road, forming an academic corridor.
Several well-known institutions have been established in this education hub.
One of the prominent ones is Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Law University, a prestigious national-level law institute attracting students interested in legal studies.
Apart from this, engineering, management, medical and private universities also operate here.
Sonipat enjoys a major location benefit:
Because of this connectivity, students and teachers can travel easily. This accessibility is one of the main reasons why the education hub was planned near the national capital.
The location near Delhi helps:
As more institutes open in the future, Sonipat is expected to grow into one of the biggest higher-education clusters in North India.
