Indian National Defence University Bill, 2015 proposes to establish a world class fully autonomous institution of National Importance under Ministry of Defence. University will develop and propagate higher education (PhD, M Phil, M Tech and M Sc) in National Security Studies, Defence Management and Defence Technology and promote policy oriented research on all aspects relating to national security, both internal and external. It would also encourage awareness of national security issues by reaching out to scholars and an audience beyond the official machinery. It will also serve as a think tank contributing to policy formulation and debates on security and strategy. INDU will inculcate and promote coordination and interaction not just between the three Armed Services but also between other agencies of the Government, the Civil Bureaucracy, Para Military Forces, Central Armed Police Forces, Intelligence Services, Diplomats, Academicians, Strategic Planners, University Students and officers from Friendly Foreign Countries. It would create synergy between the academic community and Govt functionaries. It would make available opportunities for higher studies through distance learning to interested military personnel.
Initially, four new colleges / institutions, namely School of National Security Studies, School of Defence Technology, School of Defence Management and Centre for Distance and Open Learning are proposed to be set up at main campus at Binola, Gurgaon. The four existing Defence Institutions namely National Defence College (NDC), New Delhi, College of Defence Management (CDM), Secunderabad, Defence Services Staff College (DSSC), Wellington and National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, Pune are proposed to be brought under the ambit of INDU without diluting their powers or autonomy for award of degrees and diplomas.
The last date for sharing inputs on Draft Indian National Defense University Bill, 2015 is 21st August, 2016.

Please make sure that universities must propogate enough practical knowledge and must have world class and experienced teachers in it.
Would it not be better if the university is established at a place like Nagpur i/o Gurgaon. Gurgaon is right under the nose of Delhi, and likely to be subjected to lot of pulls and pressures. Nagpur would be a quite place, where work can be silently and efficiently, without it being in limelight and without the pulls and pressures. Besides why should everything be north/delhi centric.
Dear team,
We appreciate the efforts of govt. Emphasis should be private research funding in All depts which can motivate students for research.
Its not a good idea..look at the present state of R&D in DRDO..first clean it up and make it a force to reckon with and then move forward into such a big task. corroded iron can't make a good weapon.
Sir,
1. INDU should act as partner in R&D in key strategic sectors. Also, for practical training and realistic research, it should collaborate with organisations/ industry. it is recommended that under the section "Powers of Universities", the following para may be added: -

2. Create Aerospace Colleges under Defence Technology/paper on China Aerospace Univ att

Good to hear about all different developments but one question always remain : Unanswered; where is India, how much we know about Bharat, what is our National pride, how many of us know about Yoga, culture, natinsl heros like Honorable Prithviraj Chauhan, Honorable Rana Partap, Raj Raja Chola Empire, Maharajah Ranjit Singh, Rani Tara Bai, Rajmata Jija Bai, Sant Kabir, Shri Naam Dev, Nagarjun, s.ramanujam, c.v.raman and unending list. State board and lot of history books teach about top crooks
Section 23 prescribes President of university to be three star officer and bestows the status of Commander-in-Chief. Section 23 shall be modified to have provision for other acclaimed persons of repute to be eligible for President, as it is institution of national importance. It shall not be limited to defence personnel only to be President.
The selection procedure of students for graduate, post graduate, doctoral degree is not mentioned in the Act. It is proposed that students shall be admitted through All India Competition and seats may be reserved for Defence Personnel/internal security establishment. Meritorious students are essential to breed excellence in research in national security, defence technology and Management.
amazing it will attract the youth of India.need to campaign in all over India colleges and institutes.
