It is located at [[Binola]] village in [[Gurgaon district|Gurugram district]] of [[Haryana]] state in India that is being built.<ref name=daily3/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prsindia.org/uploads/media//draft/Indian%20National%20Defence%20University%20Bill,%202015.pdf|title=Act for proposal {{!}} INDU|access-date=18 July 2018}}</ref> It is proposed to be one of the [[Institutes_of_National_Importance#Institutes_of_National_Importance|Institutes of National Importance]] (INIs).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prsindia.org/uploads/media//draft/Indian%20National%20Defence%20University%20Bill,%202015.pdf|title=Act for proposal {{!}} INDU|access-date=18 July 2018}}</ref> It was first proposed in 1967, but is unlikely to become operational in the foreseeable future,<ref name="No-sign" /> despite periodic optimism.<ref name=hp23mic/><ref name=rider1>[https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-cm/cabinet-approves-setting-up-of-bus-bay-near-indian-defence-university-land-in-gurugram-haryana-118022000578_1.html Cabinet approves setting up of bus bay near Indian Defence University Land in Gurugram, Haryana], business-standard.com, 20 Feb 2018.</ref> As of January 2020, only the perimeter road and boundary walls have been constructed, the construction of the main building and teaching infrastructure could not commence until the "Indian National Defence University (INDU) Act, 2015" is passed, which is still awaiting approval from the Union Cabinet and the Parliament of India in the form of a draft bill.<ref name=MuchDelayed1/><ref name="No-sign"/>

== History ==
The idea for this autonomous institution was initially conceived in 1967, strongly recommended by "Sethna Committee" in 1980 and the 1999 [[Kargil War]] Review Committee, as well as the "Group Minister's report on reforming national security system" in 2001 recommended its establishment to then Home Minister [[L. K. Advani]], and also by [[K. Subrahmanyam]], the proposal was approved by the Union Cabinet in 2010, Prime Minister [[Dr. Manmohan Singh]] laid the foundation stone of the Indian National Defence University (INDU) at Binola in Gurgaon on 23 May 2013.<ref name=daily1>{{Cite news|url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/todays-newspaper/national-def-varsity-project-on-fast-track.html |first=Rahul |last=Datta |title=National def varsity project on fast track |newspaper=Daily Pioneer |date=11 December 2017}}</ref><ref name=daily3>{{Cite news|date=13 May 2010 |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-05-13/india/28297963_1_indu-indian-national-defence-university-long-term-defence |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131114003841/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-05-13/india/28297963_1_indu-indian-national-defence-university-long-term-defence |url-status=dead |archive-date=14 November 2013 |first=Rajat |last=Pandit |title=Finally, India to get a national defence university |newspaper=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref><ref name=daily2>{{Cite web|url=http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90777/90851/6984530.html |date=13 May 2010 |title=India to set up national defense university |agency=[[Xinhua News Agency|Xinhua]] |publisher=People's daily online}}</ref><ref name="No-sign"/> Draft [[Lawmaking_procedure_in_India#Difference_between_a_Bill_and_an_Act|bill]] was put online in August 2016 for the public consultation, but no progress has been made since then as the bill is still awaiting approval from the [[Union_Council_of_Ministers#Cabinet_Ministers|Union Cabinet]] and the [[Parliament of India]].<ref name="No-sign"/> As of September 2019, there is no evidence that the university will ever open,<ref name="No-sign">{{Cite news|first=Rajat |last=Pandit |date=15 September 2019 |title=52 years on, still no sign of national defence university |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/52-years-on-still-no-sign-of-national-defence-university/articleshow/71142205.cms}}</ref> despite earlier optimism.<ref name=hp23mic>{{cite news|title=India can be net provider of security in region: PM|url=http://hillpost.in/2013/05/india-can-be-net-provider-of-security-in-region-pm/80749/|accessdate=24 May 2013|newspaper=Hill Post|date=23 May 2013}}</ref> "The country certainly needs a ‘world-class’ INDU to inject some much-needed strategic culture in governance as well as encourage robust cross-linkages between the executive and academia. Almost all major countries, from the US to China, have national defence [uni]varsities (sic) to develop national security leaders as well as undertake long-term strategic studies and threat assessments."<ref name="No-sign"/>

== The university ==

=== Objectives ===
The INDU aims to undertake the following:<ref name="No-sign"/>
* Promote research-oriented national [[Military policy|defence policy]].
* High level [[leadership development]] of officers for military duties and policy formulation responsibilities
* Develop and propagate higher education in [[Military science|defence studies]] like [[Capability management|defence management]] and [[Military technology|defence science and technology]].
* University [[think tanks]] for providing [[Military policy|policy formulations]] inputs.

The much needed pending three reforms for the national security and military readiness are the [[Integrated Defence Staff|integrated tri services operational commands]] under the [[Chief of Defence Staff (India)|Chief of Defence Staff]], the [[make in India]] indigenous [[Defence industry of India|defence manufacturing]], and the reform in [[Military_academies_in_India|military education in India]]. While some progress has been made towards the first two, but the reforms in military education in India are still lacking. The current military training in India trains officers with "narrow professional skills to command companies, battalions and brigades, or perform staff duties at various levels, there is practically no attempt to give the officers a sense of the larger contexts – strategic, political and international – in which the armed forces function. It is only at the highest training establishment, the National Defence College, that senior one-star officers get exposed to some of these issues. This is too little and too late. This outmoded approach to training impacts the quality of human capital at all levels in the services. Yet, no government has paid serious attention to this. The fate of the long-heralded Indian National Defence University is symptomatic of the political leadership’s neglect of this crucial area."<ref name=StillLacking>[https://theprint.in/opinion/defence-university-to-defence-chief-modi-govt-now-has-political-capital-for-the-big-reforms/251180/ Defence University to Defence Chief – Modi govt now has political capital for the big reforms], [[ThePrint]], 2019.</ref>

=== Administration ===

This autonomous University will be instituted by the Act of the [[Parliament of India]], and [[President of India]] will be a Visitor, and the [[Defence Minister of India|Defence Minister]] will be the Chancellor. INDU will be governed as per its own norms and will be responsible to promote coordination and interaction between Institutions of Armed Forces or establishments of the country.

The institute will be headed by a President, who will be a three-star serving General or equivalent officer with C-in-C status on appointment, and a Vice-President, who will be a civilian. The university formed on the lines of [[Indian Institutes of Technology]] (IIT) and [[Indian Institutes of Management]] (IIMs) will have the teaching faculty composed of military personnel and civilians in the ratio of 1:1.<ref name=hp23mic /><ref name=autogenerated1>{{Cite news|url=http://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/manmohan-singh-laid-the-foundation-stone-of-national-defence-university-1369306078-1 |date=23 May 2013 |first=Jitesh |last=Jha |title=Manmohan Singh laid the foundation stone of National Defence University |newspaper=Jagran Josh}}</ref>
