Delhi Cantonment, Military administrative zone in Delhi, India

Delhi Cantonment is an administrative zone in southwest Delhi that integrates residential neighborhoods, defense installations, and educational institutions within its planned layout. The area combines military operations with residential communities and public spaces serving diverse residents.

The British administration established this area in 1914 as a military base to support strategic defense operations. This founding purpose continues to shape the area's structure and character today.

Military families and civilians live side by side here, sharing customs and gathering for local celebrations throughout the year. This everyday mix shapes the community's social fabric and creates a sense of belonging.

A railway station connects the area to other parts of the city, and bus routes serve various destinations. Visitors can navigate easily using public transportation to reach different sections.

The area houses a major military hospital that serves as the primary medical center for India's armed forces. This healthcare facility plays an important role in the area's infrastructure and history.
