Mukherjee Nagar, is a neighbourhood in northern Delhi.It was named in honor of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee
Mukherjee Nagar is often referred to as the UPSC Coaching hub for UPSC aspirants. The locality is dotted with a plethora of IAS coaching centers, libraries, bookshops, and hostels. This ecosystem has transformed the area into a vibrant and competitive hub, where students from all corners of the country come to chase their dreams of becoming civil servants.[1] [2]
Filled with a huge number of aspirants and students, Mukherjee Nagar has been the epicenter of many student agendas and protests, especially against UPSC (2013)[3] and against SSC (2017)[4] both of which spread quickly nationwide, and led to involvement of Government of India either in form of Judicial activism in the former, or involving inspection by CBI[5] in the latter.
