The study provides the Odonatan diversity in the campus area of Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University Raipur (C.G.) India. In the present study 15 species of dragonflies and damselflies were recorded from four survey sites. Coenagrionidae family is mostly present in abundance followed by family Libellulidae comprising 06 species. Crocothemis servilia, Brachythemis contaminata, Diplocodes trivialis, Trithemis pallidinevis, Orthetrum sabina, Ictinogamphus rapax, Bradinopyga geminata, Ischnura aurora were found from all study areas and these were the most dominant species in the campus.
