Residential and non-residential facilities will be built for the 3rd Battalion in Prayagraj and the 4th in Mathura in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision.

In Prayagraj, 42.03 acres of land have been identified in the Arail area, with 22 acres in Deoria village and 19 acres in Bhaipur village earmarked for the campus. The total estimated cost for the construction and development work here is Rs 198 crore (excluding GST). Similarly, in Barhata village, Mathura, 40.03 acres have been identified for the 4th battalion campus, with a projected cost of Rs 197 crore (excluding GST).

In parallel, preparations are also being made to fast-track the long-pending construction work for the Women PAC Battalion campus in Badaun. This project will involve an expenditure of Rs 177.30 crore. All these infrastructure projects will be carried out on an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) mode, for which the Planning Department has already prepared the blueprint.

As per the Planning Department’s blueprint, all construction work for the Prayagraj and Mathura battalion campuses is targeted for completion within 18 months, with a 36-month defect liability period. A detailed master plan is being prepared, including concept designs, 3D views, animated walkthroughs, soil testing, and other technical reports to guide the process. The campus will be designed with future requirements in mind, including residential and non-residential blocks, STP (Sewage Treatment Plant), green areas, sports facilities, barracks, and other amenities.

Likewise, the process to complete the under-construction Women PAC Battalion campus in Saijani, Badaun, is being accelerated. As per the Planning Department’s blueprint, a one-year timeline has been set for completing the construction and development work.

Notably, various residential and non-residential blocks, including 12-storey buildings, are part of this campus. The campus is to be constructed over 1.19 lakh square meters, with renewed focus on completing construction on 55,540 square meters of the site.
