Dada Lakhmi Chand State University of Performing & Visual Arts, Rohtak, came into existence in 2014 through Haryana Act No. 24 of 2014 by integrating four government technical institutions, namely, State Institute of Fine Arts (SIFA), State Institute of Design (SID), State Institute of Film & Television (SIFT) and State Institute of Urban Planning & Architecture (SIUPA).

The campus is spread over 36 acres of land, beautifully designed by world renowned architect Raj Rewal, with a healthy and verdant campus. It is centrally located in the state of Haryana, at a distance of about 75 kms from the national capital, 80 kms from IGI Airport, New Delhi and about 200 kms from Chandigarh, and is well-connected with the road and railway network. With magnificent buildings and state-of-art infrastructure, it has spacious seminar halls, laboratories, workshops and studios, well equipped with latest machinery, equipment and IT infrastructure. Central facilities like auditorium, seminar halls, central library, etc. are also available for academics and extra-curricular activities. A girls’ hostel with a capacity to accommodate 175 students is already available in the campus. Housing facility for both faculty and non-teaching staff is also available in the campus.

Presently, there are four Faculties in which 15 undergraduate degree level programmes are being offered. Besides, one postgraduate programme was started in each of the faculty from the academic session, 2019-2020. Also, 17 diploma and certificate programmes are also being run since the session, 2020-21. The university is already offering PhD programme in the area of Computer Science, Textile Design, Applied Arts and Planning & Architecture.

A Regional Centre of the university in village Aterna, distt. Sonepat, in which various programmes in humanities and social sciences, including cultural and folk media studies would be offered, is also under consideration with the state government. The plan to set up a separate faculty of humanities and social sciences is also under active consideration of the university, which would enable students to gain a robust foundation in the social life-world, where they would manifest as artists in future. The university is gearing up to take on all programmes under the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) with effect from 2024. The university has also planned short-term courses with an outreach and skill development thrust.
