Munirka's history dates back to the 15th century. The name Munirka is derived from Munir Khan, who was a mansabdar of the area. Its neighbourhood consists of the JNU campus on the south, Vasant Vihar on the North-West, RK Puram on northern side and IIT campus and Ber sarai on south-eastern front. The outer ring road forms the north to east boundary of the suburb. It provides shelter to a lot of religion under one roof. Inside Munirka streets are very narrow, typically 2.2-2.5m wide. The nearest metro station is Hauz Khas, though a new metro station is currently under construction near the flyover.
