History of University of Delhi

The University of Delhi is the premier university of the country and is known for its high standards in teaching and research and attracts eminent scholars to its faculty. It was established in  1922 as a unitary, teaching and residential university by an Act of the then Central Legislative  Assembly.   The President of India is the Visitor,  the Vice  President is  the Chancellor and  the  Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India is the Pro-Chancellor of the University.

Ever since its inception, a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and research has made the University of Delhi a role-model and path-setter for other universities in the country. Academic tradition has always attracted the most talented students who later on went on to make important contributions to their society.

Key Facts

• The Campus is now spread across 69 acres of green, hilly terrain and its buildings blend attractively with the natural surroundings.
• The various departments are located in the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Inter-disciplinary and Applied Sciences. S.P. Jain Centre for Management Studies is also located at the South Delhi Campus.
• The Campus has a good library, a Health Centre, a Bank, a Post Office, DTC Pass Section and administrative and examination blocks. South Campus also provides some residential quarters for faculty members and the non-teaching staff. Outstation students are offered accommodation in three hostels.
• When the  University took birth, only  three colleges  existed in Delhi then:  St.  Stephen’s   College founded in 1881,  Hindu College founded in 1899 and Ramjas College  founded  in  1917, which were subsequently affiliated to it.
• The University thus had a modest beginning with just three colleges, two faculties (Arts and Science) and about 750 students.

 International Relations

• The University of Delhi has for long been aware of its role in a larger international academic community, and in pursuance of this, the University has been reaching out to fraternal institutions in different parts of the world for collaborative programs, research networks, student exchanges and so on. Campuses once geographically bound to one physical place now have the opportunity to expand and network between states, regions, and international locations.
• In addition, technology enables professors and students access to a world of information previously available only at high costs and over long periods of time.
• The desire for education created by a population that continually seeks education further supports changes within the university.
• These forces continue to alter the structure of the university in three ways, which includes changes to the structure of governance, expansion of campus networks, and enhancement of university-community partnership.
