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: 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, beautifully designed by world-renowned architect Raj Rewal. The university motto “कला साधना परम् दैवतम्” — Art-practice is supreme divinity — guides every creative endeavour.
“Since the time of the Vedas, Indian civilisation has held art and aesthetics in the highest regard. He indeed is Rasa — places aesthetic experience at the heart of our understanding of the divine and the human alike.”
DLC SUPVA is a singular institution — the only university uniting four distinct creative disciplines under one roof, enabling a truly unprecedented interdisciplinary environment.
