Developed at a cost of around Rs 55 crore, the centre is spread over 0.5 acres and houses a seven storey building with two basements, equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, modern pedagogical tools and technology-enabled classrooms, an official statement of DU said. "This East Delhi Regional Centre is not just an institution, but a gateway to opportunity and empowerment. SOL plays a pivotal role in the 'Earning and Learning' initiative, equipping our youth with the skills, confidence, and leadership required for a developed India," Pradhan said.
Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta said the facilities at Swadhyay Bhawan "stand as a testament to SOL's commitment to providing students with the best resources, on par with regular colleges. If a student possesses energy and determination, SOL ensures every necessary facility is made available". Vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh stressed the need for "short, engaging, and graphical videos to make learning interactive and impactful" and said Swadhyay Bhawan should emerge as the epicentre for innovative, skill-based programmes .

The ceremony concluded with a vote of thanks by SOL Principal Ajay Jaiswal, followed by the national anthem and a celebratory gathering.
