About Shri Davara University
Established in 2023, Shri Davara University (SDU) is a rapidly emerging, state-of-the-art private university strategically located in the modern Smart City of Atal Nagar-Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Approved by the UGC and the Department of Higher Education, SDU operates across a sprawling 85-acre eco-friendly campus with a built-up infrastructure exceeding 7.6 lakh square feet. The university was founded with a vision to transform the higher education landscape in Central India by offering a highly practical, skill-oriented, and industry-integrated pedagogy.
Despite being a newly established institution, Shri Davara University offers a highly diverse portfolio of over 50 programs across 14 academic departments. It places a special emphasis on niche, high-demand fields such as Forensic Science, Optometry, Physiotherapy, and Business Analytics. SDU has proactively bridged the industry-academia gap through strategic MoUs with prominent organizations like the State Forensic Science Laboratory, Courtyard by Marriott, and Hyatt, ensuring hands-on experiential learning for its students. With its modern smart classrooms, advanced laboratories, global partnerships (like the IBM SkillsBuild program via CSRBOX), and a vibrant campus life highlighted by its annual fest “DU IGNITE,” Shri Davara University is swiftly carving a niche as a premier educational hub in Chhattisgarh.
