The Delhi Cantonment was constructed by acquiring parts of the land of the Naraina Village and houses the headquarters of the Indian Army Headquarters, the Army Golf Course; the Defence Services Officers Institute; military housing; Air Force and Army Public Schools; and various other defence-related installations. The cantonment also houses the Army Hospital Research and Referral, a tertiary care medical centre of the Indian Armed Forces.
