Speaking about the relevance of architectural education today, Dr Ajay Bahu Joshi, Head of Department of Planning and Architecture, remarked, “Architecture is no longer confined to drawing boards; it is a field that shapes the lived experience of society. Our curriculum is project-driven, supported by expert faculty, and designed to make students industry-ready from day one.”

Vice-Chancellor, Dr Amit Arya said, “At DLC SUPVA, our goal is to democratise design education. Through flexible, affordable, and intensive courses, we are bridging the gap between academic learning and market expectations. The Faculty of Planning and Architecture is sculpting a new generation of designers, urban planners, interior stylists, and construction managers — trained not just in blueprints and software, but in real-world impact.”
