Location
Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus metro station

The Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus metro station is located on the Pink Line of the Delhi Metro. It was constructed under Phase III of Delhi Metro's expansion. [1]

Contents

An interchange facility is also available with Dhaula Kuan metro station on the Airport Express Line. The foot-over bridge, which opened on 9 February 2019, connects both stations via a 1.2 km long skywalk, featuring a record 22 travellators for seamless and efficient commuting. [2]

Situated on the Ring Road, near the junction of Benito Juarez Marg, this station is anticipated to enhance connectivity to the South Campus of the University of Delhi. [3]

History

The station was initially named South Campus. However, in December 2014, the Delhi government renamed it to Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus. [4] The renaming of the station to Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus is somewhat counterintuitive, as it obscures the original and more straightforward identifier, "South Campus". The new name introduces unnecessary complexity, potentially confusing commuters who are more familiar with the original designation, especially when trying to locate the station in relation to the well-known South Campus of Delhi University.
