Finance and Business Economics
Brief History
The Department of Finance and Business Economics was established in 2019 by merging two Departments,
i.e., Department of Business Economics and Department of Financial Studies. The Department offers two

(Ph.D in Business Economics and Ph.D in Finance) as well as three Undergraduate courses running in
colleges of the University of Delhi, viz., BA(Hons) Business Economics, Bachelor of Management

Founded in the year 1973, the University of Delhi's Department of Business Economics pioneered the
Master’s Program in Business Economics, MBA (Business Economics) (erstwhile Masters in Business
Economics). The programme combines the fundamentals of economic analysis with the practical aspects
of policy and the business world.
The MBA (Finance) programme, earlier known as Master of Finance and Control, launched by the erstwhile
Department of Financial Studies way back in 1987. Based on the lines of MS (Finance) offered
internationally, MBA (Finance) was one of a kind niche course in finance, designed and developed to cater
to the needs of the fast-growing corporate world. Since its inception, the Department has been grooming
financial professionals who are well – equipped to serve the dynamic Indian finance industry.
Major Activities and Achievements
Department’s flagship programme of MBA (Finance) (erstwhile Master of Finance and Control (MFC) and

Brief History
Established in the same year as the University of Delhi, in 1922, the Department of English offers degrees
at the MA and PhD levels. The MPhil program, which was previously offered, was discontinued across the
university in 2022. The department is actively involved in overseeing undergraduate teaching at the 79
affiliated Colleges. Since 1970, it has been operational from two campuses: the main campus at the Arts
Faculty, North Delhi, and the South Campus, Dhaula Kuan, South Delhi. Additionally, the Department
supervises the MA (English) Program at the Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board. Intensive
mentoring is provided to students both within and beyond the classroom through a diverse range of forums.

Hindi
Brief History
The Hindi Department at Delhi University stands as one of the country's esteemed academic institutions.
Established in 1948 under the collaborative efforts of the Sanskrit Department, the two departments initially
functioned as a unified entity. The distinguished Sanskrit scholar Mahamahopadhyaya Pandit Laxmidhar
Shastri served as the founding Head of the Sanskrit cum Hindi Department. Subsequently, in 1952, the
Hindi Department gained independence, operating autonomously under the leadership of Dr. Nagendra, a
renowned scholar proficient in English, Hindi, and Sanskrit.
The University of Delhi's Department of Hindi holds a prominent position among the nation's academic
departments. It actively fosters, innovates, sustains, and promotes high standards of academic excellence.
Adapting to changing times and the rapid expansion of knowledge and requirements, the department
consistently maintains a superior level of research in accordance with UGC norms.

The Department was established in 1922 with the founding of the University of Delhi itself. Although the
Department of Persian has been operational in the University since its inception, it officially came into
existence on the University campus in 1957. At that time, it was part of the combined departments of Arabic,
Persian, and Urdu. The Department of Urdu gained independent status in 1959. Subsequently, the remaining
departments were bifurcated into separate departments of Arabic and Persian in 1978. The primary focus
of the department is Indo-Persian Literature, and today it boasts approximately 60 awarded PhDs, the
majority of which delve into Indo-Persian Literature. Additionally, more than 60 MPhil dissertations have
been completed on significant topics. The literary and academic activities of the department extend beyond
the mere teaching and learning of the Persian language and literature. To facilitate the exchange of ideas,

Brief History
The history of the Sanskrit Department traces its roots back to the inception of the University itself, marking
its first enrollment in a postgraduate program in 1924. Following the prevalent tradition of the time,
Mahamahopadhyaya Pandit Lachchhmidhar Kalla, the most senior teacher in the University's constituent
colleges, assumed the role of Teacher-in-charge of the Department.
Pandit Lachchhmidhar Kalla, a polymath well-versed in various foreign languages like Persian, Arabic,
Greek, Latin, German, French, Russian, English, and several Indian languages, played a pioneering role in
initiating research programs within the Department. Renowned for his two highly acclaimed books, 'The
Birthplace of Kalidasa' and 'The Homeland of Aryans,' Pt. Kalla completed an archaeological
apprenticeship under Sir John Marshal and was an elected member of the Royal Asiatic Society. Notably,
he championed the 'Out of India Theory' against the 'Aryan Migration Theory.'
In 1949, Dr. N.N. Choudhuri joined the department as a reader and later assumed the position of Head of
the Department in 1949. Dr. Choudhuri was subsequently promoted to the newly created substantive
position of Professor in 1955.
The Department saw the addition of Prof. R V Joshi, an internationally acclaimed Sanskritist and author,
recipient of the Sahitya Academy award, and 'Pravasi Bharatiya Samman.' Another luminary, Prof.
Satyavrat Shastri, a Jnanpitha and Padma Bhushan awardee, chaired the Second Sanskrit Commission and

Originally named the Department of Modern European Languages in 1948, the department expanded to
include courses in French, German, Spanish, and later, Hungarian, Polish, Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian,
Portuguese, and Romanian languages by 1969. Due to increased enrolment, the department underwent
bifurcation in 1987, leading to the establishment of the Department of Germanic and Romance Studies and
the Department of Slavic Studies, subsequently renamed the Department of Slavonic & Finno-Ugrian
Studies.

Brief History
The Department of Urdu at Delhi University, originally part of a combined department with Arabic and
Persian since the university's inception, gained its independence in 1959. This milestone followed its initial
establishment on the university campus in 1957 as part of the multilateral department. The segregation in
1959 marked a significant moment, allowing for a dedicated focus on Urdu language and literature. It
underscored the distinct cultural and literary significance of Urdu, a language renowned for its poetic
richness and cultural depth. Since then, the Department has been pivotal in promoting Urdu's scholarly
study and preservation, establishing itself as a key center for Urdu academia.
The teachers of the Department are actively engaged in research and publications work in different areas
of urdu Language and Literature. A number of distinguished visitors, Professors and eminent personalities
visited the Department to deliver the special lectures and interact with faculty members as well as the
students of the Department.

FACULTY OF EDUCATION
Department of Education
Brief History
The Department of Education, University of Delhi, earlier known as CIE, is perhaps the first major
institution of professional learning and research in Education that was established since independence. The
first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and his first Education Minister, Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad took considerable interest in its establishment in 1947 and activities and progress in those early
years. Maulana Azad visualized the function of it not merely to "turn out teachers who will be 'model
teachers', but to evolve into a research centre for solving new educational problems of the country".
Maulana prophesized that it would grow into "a beacon light for training institutions of the country". Over
these past decades, the Department has indeed grown into a pace-setting institution in Teacher Education
and Educational Research. Recognized as the Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) and having
launched the Maulana Azad Centre for Elementary and Social Education (MACESE), the Department has
shaped its unique philosophy, which finds reflection in its all the programmes through inculcating core
values of democracy, freedom, dedication, creativity, social responsibility, diversity, inclusion,
collaborative and experiential learning, innovation, sincerity, and excellence.

Biophysics
Brief History
The Department of Biophysics, established in 1985, began with Professor U.N. Singh and expanded its
faculty over the years. Early research focused on Theoretical & Mathematical Biology, and significant
contributions included Dr. Sudipto Das's establishment of an electrophysiology facility in 1990. Despite
changes in faculty, including the departure of key members, the department continued to grow, with new
appointments such as Dr. Hemlata Agnihotri and Dr. Sumit Kumar Chaturvedi in 2022.
Since its inception, the department has offered a Ph.D. program in Biophysics and participated in an M.Phil.
(Biotechnology) program. It launched its own M.Phil. Biophysics in 2018 and started an M.Sc. Biophysics
course in 2020, graduating its first batch in 2022.
Equipped with state-of-the-art research labs funded by various agencies, the department focuses on
structural and computational biology, electrophysiology, mathematical modeling, and bioinformatics.
Research areas include protein structure-function studies in extremophiles, metagenomics, molecular
modeling, and genome and protein sequence analysis. The department's commitment to academic and
research excellence is evident in its alumni's success, occupying prestigious positions globally as
independent researchers and post-doctoral fellows in renowned institutions like the University of California
San Francisco, Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, and the National Institute of Health (USA).
Manish Kumar's research group focuses on translational research, encompassing bioinformatics, chemi-
informatics, and phylogenomic to study microbial evolution, virulence, and antibiotic resistance. They
predict protein interactions in metabolic and signalling pathways to identify diagnostic, vaccine, and
therapeutic targets. The lab employs molecular modelling and computer simulations for drug design,
including repurposing existing drugs. They use Next Generation Sequencing for metagenomic data
analysis, particularly in antibiotic resistance gene load, and have developed a related gene library for
diagnostic test development. Kumar's group also works on genome, proteome, and metabolome annotation,
and studies amino acid patterns in proteins for understanding post-translational modifications and their
impact on protein function, integrating computational and experimental methods. Prof. Manisha Goel’s
group works with structural bioinformatics and is currently exploring the role of prosequences in protein
folding and function. They are also interested in the mechanism of action of Cas proteins involved in
CRISPR function. Dr. Hemlata Agnihotri’s lab works on Cell signalling, Receptor biology, Host-pathogen
interactions. Dr. Sumit Kumar Chaturvedi’s lab works on conformational and ligand binding on proteins.

Genetics
Brief History
The Department of Genetics was established in 1984 as a part of the Faculty of Inter-disciplinary & Applied
Sciences at the University of Delhi South Campus. In its brief period of existence, the department has
developed into an advanced center of study in Genetics recognized by the University Grants Commission
(UGC) under their Special Assistance Programme (SAP-phase III) and the Department of Science &
Technology under their FIST (Level 2) program. Two of the faculties also have Centers of Excellence
supported by the Department of Biotechnology.Two courses are offered by the Department: A two-year
M.Sc. program and a Ph.D. program. Both programs are based on a strong foundation of research in
individual laboratories. The department enjoys the unique strength of having faculty with research
specialization using a range of model systems such as Drosophila, Arabidopsis, Yeast, Dictyostelium, and
human-induced pluripotent stem cells.
The faculty members of the Department of Genetics have made notable scientific contributions. Research
work from Prof. A. K. Pradhan’s group at (CGMCP) led to the development of CMS-based and GM-based
productive hybrids, several pure lines with improved quality and white rust resistance and identification of
some promising combiners for heterosis breeding, and sequencing of brassica genome. The lab has
sequenced the genome of seven important oilseed mustard lines which will help in identification of
candidate genes for some traits of importance and also help in diversification of important QTL and genes.
Research highlights from Prof. Thelma lab include i) providing the first ever exome-wide mutation
spectrum in known genes for Mendelian forms of Parkinson’s disease; ii) demonstration of hypomorphic
effect of a deep intronic variant in CENPJ in Seckel syndrome; iii) providing genetic evidence for
cumulative contribution of genes of minor effect in schizophrenia; and iv) design and development of novel
inhibitory molecules for two candidate proteins for rheumatoid arthritis. Prof. M.V Rajam’s work has led
to the identification and characterization of several novel genes involved in viral and fungal pathogenesis
in tomato; and metamorphosis of insect pests of tomato, brinjal and cauliflower, and using RNAi-mediated
silencing of these genes, they have demonstrated their potential for crop protection. Prof. P.K Burma’s
group has analyzed tapetum specific promoter A9 from Arabidopsis thaliana, which led to the identification
of transcription factors involved in regulation of promoter. Research findings from Prof. Surajit Sarkar's
group has reported novel role of Drosophila Globin1 pathogenesis of human tauopathies. Also, for the first
time they have demonstrated that glipizide, an FDA approved anti-diabetic drug can be repurposed as an
effective treatment strategy against the neurodegenerative poly(Q) disorders. Prof. Jagreet Kaur's group
have used set of geographically diverse Arabidopsis accessions (140 accessions) to uncover the genetic
architecture underlying resistance to Alternaria brassicae, which can potentially help in developing resistant
crops. Prof. Tapasya Srivastava’s group have continued to work on our on-going project on epigenetic
regulation in gliomas. The group has also investigated on a specific gene CNIH1 for its role in onset and
progression of gastric cancer and gliomas. The group has fostered collaborations within and outside FIAS
- that has also resulted in a publication. Prof. Srivastava’s group has initiated work on liquid biopsy and
ctDNA with her collaborators at AIIMS. Dr. Kaustuv Datta’s group has identified novel GTPase in the
mitochondrial ribosomes which potentially respond to changes in ATP/ADP ratio and regulate cellular
ability to perform respiratory functions. Dr. Aruna Devi Naorem’s group is working towards understanding
the role of regulatory proteins such as PPIases - Parvulins, Wee family kinases etc. in developmental
processes in D. discoideum. Her group is also investigating the importance of single amino acid repeats in
proteins. Her group has showed evidences for D. discoideum PinA, a novel parvulin, in regulating multiple
processes in growth and development of this organism.

Microbiology
The Department of Microbiology carries out basic as well as translational research.
Prof. Swati Saha’s laboratory investigates events linked to Leishmania DNA biology. Over the past year
her laboratory has worked towards unravelling the role of several proteins believed to play an epigenetic
role in gene regulation. These proteins have been found to impact various aspects of transcription and DNA
repair. Prof. Rajeev Kaul Laboratory conducted a study that identified three polymorphic sites each in
BoLA DRB3 and BoLA genes of cattle which correlated with evidence of recent infection with foot and
mouth disease (FMD) indicating their role in determining susceptibility of vaccinated animals to FMDV
infection. Occurrence of infection in vaccinated animals is well-known in some diseases and is termed as
breakthrough infection. The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) of bovines i.e. Bovine Leukocyte
Antigen (BoLA) is important for antigen presentation. The BoLA DRB3 allele, which codes for the beta
chain in Class II antigen, has been extensively studied where we investigated the polymorphism in BoLA
DRB3 and BoLA gene sequences of host and their relation with breakthrough FMDV infection in
vaccinated animals. Dr. Vijay. K. Verma laboratory works in the area of exploring the molecular
mechanism of persistent infection which underlie asymptomatic host pathogen coexistence in human
pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Theyare focusing on the different toxins present in H. pylori and their role
in pathogenesis. Recently, the lab have discovered the presence of many toxin-antitoxin pairs in H. pylori
genome. Prof. Y. P. Khasa laboratory’s work is focused on recombinant product development in E. coli and

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
Pichia pastoris expression hosts. The laboratory is developing cost-effective SUMO protease technology
to reduce the production cost of heterologous proteins in soluble form. They are also developing and
optimizing bioprocesses for single chain antibody production against hTNF-α. Dr. Pau Biak Sang’s lab is
working on the DNA repair protein in Candida glabrata and its importance in pathogenesis. His lab is also
working on discovery of novel methods for detection of antimicrobial resistance.

Plant Molecular Biology
Brief History
The Department of Plant Molecular Biology (PMB) was established in 1988 under the Faculty of
Interdisciplinary and Applied Sciences. Its primary aim was to cater to students' needs in frontier areas of
plant biology and to propel advanced research in the Molecular Aspects of Plant Biology and
Biotechnology. The same year, it incorporated the Unit for Plant Cell and Molecular Biology, an initiative
originally established by the DST. The growth and development of the department were greatly supported
through various grants. Notably, the COSIST grant by the UGC between 1990 and 1995, followed by its
recognition of the department for Special Assistance under its DRS Phase I & Phase II programs from 2002
to 2012, to bolster research and teaching in Plant Molecular Biology.
Over the years, the department has been steered by esteemed academicians. Notably, Professor S.C.
Maheshwari (1988-1992), Professor Akhilesh K. Tyagi, Professor Jitendra P. Khurana, Professor Paramjit
Khurana, Professor Anil Grover, Professor Indranil Dasgupta, Professor Madan Mohan, and Professor
Sanjay Kapoor (serving as the Head from 2022 onwards) have played pivotal roles as Heads of the
Department.
The department's research efforts have been significantly supported by major grants, such as, “Centre for
Plant Molecular Biology” and “Genome Initiatives on Sequencing, Gene Discovery and Function” by DBT.
Besides, several other competitive grants have been received from other notable organizations such as DST,
UGC, the European Commission, and the Rockefeller Foundation. Since its inception, the faculty's work
has culminated in around 900 publications, and multiple patents have been filed. The faculty's participation
in multi-institutional and international collaborative projects has consistently characterized this department,
emphasizing the department's commitment to global scientific exchange and research collaborations.

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
The Department of Plant Molecular Biology has made significant contributions to plant science. It
participated and contributed significantly to the global genome sequencing efforts on Rice, Tomato, and
Wheat. The department is known for its research on abiotic stress tolerance, especially heat, osmotic, and
drought tolerance. It has led to the discovery of several candidate genes that can confer stress resilience
across multiple growth stages. the department is pioneering efforts to combat mineral nutrient deficiency
in crops, aiming to harness biotechnology to create stress-tolerant crops. A PMB-led multi-institutional
DBT-funded program on functional genomics of rice has revealed functions of several genes involved in
floral transition, gametophyte development, and seed development. Another feather in their cap is the
establishment of the ‘Indian Biological Data Centre (IBDC),’ marking India's first national life science data
repository. The research on tomato ripening has spotlighted genes that can extend its shelf-life. Presently,
the PMB team is delving deep into the intricate genomic networks, elucidating how diverse genomic
elements synchronize and respond to a myriad of developmental and environmental stimuli.
Prof. Girdhar K. Pandey received the Prof. Shri Ranjan Memorial Award given by the National Academy
of Sciences (NASI) in the year 2023
Prof. Indranil Dasgupta received the INSA Senior Scientist fellowship given by INSA in the year 2023

FACULTY OF LAW
Brief History
The Faculty of Law at the University of Delhi stands as a venerable institution with a rich legacy in legal
education. Established in 1924, it has consistently maintained its reputation as a national focal point for
legal studies. Over the years, the department has been at the forefront, producing distinguished legal figures,
including Supreme Court and High Court judges, prominent advocates, influential political leaders, policy-
makers, and individuals who have set trends across various domains. Despite its renowned alumni, the
department maintains an egalitarian ethos, offering practically free legal education at a nominal cost.
The Faculty of Law has unparalleled expertise of its faculty members and a multicultural environment, adds
to its allure. Currently catering to over 10,000 students, encompassing LL.B., LL.M., and Ph.D. programs,
the Faculty operates within limited resources. While a comprehensive three-year LLB degree course is
offered by the three centers operating within the fold of the Faculty ( Law Centre – I, in 1970, followed by
Law Centre – II in 1971 and Campus Law Centre in 1975), the LL.M. and Ph.D. programs are administered
under the direct supervision of the Dean. Embracing the case method of teaching law, the department
distinguishes itself by not relying on publishers' new editions. Instead, faculty members diligently revise
case materials for LL.B. and LL.M. programs every semester, ensuring the most relevant and up-to-date
content. Printed copies of these materials are then distributed to all students without profit.
In addition to its commitment to accessible legal education, the Faculty of Law boasts a rich print library
supplemented with e-resources. The faculty comprises individuals with diverse knowledge and experiences,
with professors from other universities, including foreign institutions, visiting under various fellowship
programs to engage in research within the institution. The department also actively fosters international
collaborations, with delegations from foreign universities frequently visiting to share knowledge and enrich
the learning experience for our students.
Seminars/Conferences organised
The Faculty of Law at the University of Delhi has been actively organising various seminars and events,
including World Animal Day on October 4, 2022, facilitated by the Animal Law Cell. Additionally, the
faculty hosted a Conclave on Indianisation of Legal System and Education on September 29-30, 2022, a
Workshop on United Against Gender-Based Violence on July 19, 2022, and a Two-Day Workshop on
Women and Technology: Addressing Sexual Violence against Women on June 24-25, 2022.
Further contributions include a Special Lecture on JUSTICIABILITY OF ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND

CULTURAL RIGHTS on May 6, 2022, a Webinar on Theories of Justice on April 12, 2022, and the 3rd
International Conference on Mediation held on April 9-10, 2022, featuring a comprehensive list of speakers
and sessions.

Campus Law Centre
Brief History
Campus Law Centre fondly known as CLC is one of the premier legal education centers of the country. It
was established in 1922, under the aegis of University of Delhi in its foundation year. In 1975, the day
classes of LL.B. of the Faculty of Law were rechristened as Campus Law Centre. The Campus Law Centre
or CLC, known for its great achievements, has the distinction of being one of the oldest and most prestigious
institutions, which continues to preserve its 100 years of rich heritage and legacy of yielding profound
lawyers, academicians, Union Cabinet Ministers, Chief Justices, and judges.

Statistics
Brief History
The Department of Mathematical Statistics was established in August 1973, though the teaching of M.A.
in Mathematical Statistics had been introduced as early as July 1957 at the initiative of Professor Ram
Behari as part of a development programme adopted by the Department of Mathematics. Professor H.C.
Gupta was the first head of the Department and he can be credited with the setting up of a good school in
Stochastic Processes. In 1971, the scope of post-graduate courses in Mathematical Statistics was extended,
leading to an M.Sc. degree in Statistics. In 1987, the Department of Mathematical Statistics was re-named
as the Department of Statistics.
The Department imparts rigorous training and exposure to the students in computer education by way of
introducing state-of-the-art programming language and computer software to enable the students to perform
statistical data analysis.
The Department of Statistics is involved in carrying out research and teaching in diverse fields of Statistics.
It has used the power of Statistics and knowledge of computers to contribute significantly to the area of
research. The main thrust of the Department is to conduct basic and applied research and to develop trained
manpower in the discipline of Statistics. The Department offers two degree-oriented programmes, namely
M.A./M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Statistics, with a curriculum that includes emerging and core areas in various
fields of Statistics. The Department also organizes special invited talks by eminent persons from India and
abroad. Distinguished Professors visited the department to deliver research talks and interact with faculty

and students. The Department has achieved great success in the suitable placement of students in reputed
national and international companies/organizations.

Pharmacology (UCMS)
Brief history
The department of pharmacology was established as part of University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi
which was founded in 1971 as a constituent college of University of Delhi. The department's thrust areas
of research are neuro-pharmacology of stress, pain and convulsive disorder; neurobehavioral aspects of
drug abuse, opioid and indigenous drug pharmacology and Clinical pharmacology.
New teaching and learning activities were performed in the clinical and experimental pharmacology. The
emphasis was laid on problem based learning and developing prescribing skills among MBBS students.
Clinical scenarios were provided for role play with objective to improve the communication skills of MBBS
students for optimal use of the prescribed medications. Small group discussions were conducted to
understand the treatment of common diseases like hypertension, angina, diabetes mellitus, typhoid, malaria,
tuberculosis, etc. AETCOM sessions on fundamentals of communications and bioethics were designed with
special reference to patient autonomy in health care decision making.

Surgery (MAMC)
Maulana Azad Medical College was started in February 1958 in the Anatomy Block of lrwin Hospital (now
known as Lok Nayak Hospital). Pandit Gobind Ballabh Pant - the first Home Minister of free India laid the
foundation stone of the main building of MAMC on 24th of October 1959. The site was a “Sarai “during
the Mughal period. During the British rule the Sarai was taken over by the Britishers and converted to the
old Delhi Jail, where tens of thousands of the freedom fighters were jailed. Located in the same jail was
also the place to hang people (Phansi Ghar) where 14 patriots were hanged between 1915 and 1945. We
also have a very serene memorial to the patriots on the spot where they were hanged in the Old Delhi Jail.
This memorial is located roughly in the geographical centre of MAMC and Associated Hospitals Complex,
adjacent to the main building of MAMC. The Department of Surgery is presently located on the second
floor of the B.L.Taneja block.

Clinical Research Centre now renamed as Viswanathan Chest Hospital was inaugurated by Dr. Rajendra
Prasad, the first President of India on 24th October 1957. The mandates of the Institute are to conduct
research on basic and clinical aspects of chest medicine, to train post graduates in Pulmonary Medicine and
allied subjects, to develop new diagnostic technology and disseminate it to other institutions in the country
and to provide specialised clinical investigative services to patients. The Institute has so far made
tremendous progress with respect to furthering research, imparting training and providing patient-care in
chest medicine and allied disciplines.

FACULTY OF MUSIC AND FINE ARTS
Department of Music
Brief History
At the Dept. of Music, Faculty of Music and Fine Arts, University of Delhi, we are proud to look at sixty
years of effectuating the strategies of adapting our classical music from the traditional Gurukul system to
that of the university system. The conceptual foundation was laid by Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao, the famous
economist and former Education Minister, who was also the Vice Chancellor of this university at the time
of its inception. With the aid of an endowment fund from Sir Shankar Lal Foundation, the Department of
Music, University of Delhi, was instituted in the year 1960. The translation of the concept into reality was
commenced by pioneers such as Prof. R.L. Roy, Shri C.S. Pant, Shri Pran Nath, Prof. V.V. Sadagopan,
Smt. Ambujam, Shri Debu Chaudhuri and Shri V.K. Aggarwal, along with staff artists - Shri Chhamma
Khan, Shri Faqir Chand and Shri Ram Swaroop. They were followed by Ustad Yunus Hussain Khan, and
thereafter by Vidushi Prof. Sumati Mutatkar as the Dean and head, of the Faculty of Music & Fine Arts,
University of Delhi. It was under the inspiration of Prof. Mutatkar, and with Yunus Khan ji as the first
Choir Director, that the Department started the ‘Sargam Choir’, a vocal and instrumental ensemble, in 1971.
Started with a modest batch of twelve students of Hindustani music (both Vocal and Instrumental) and
Karnatak music, (only Vocal), the Department was initially situated at the Barracks at the back side of
Miranda House. Since then, it has expanded to over four hundred and fifty students at its current location,
just at the intersection of University Road and Mall Road, next to the Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall on the
North Campus of the University. During this period, the two main disciplines of music in India, viz,
Hindustani and Karnatak music have grown parallel to each other in this Department. With the passage of
time, new courses were introduced. In 2013-14, a B.A. (Hons.) in Hindustani music - Percussion
(Tabla/Pakhawaj) was introduced, followed by M.A. in the same in 2016-17, with its M.Phil. starting from
2018-19 onwards.
The Department has constantly been in the process of enhancing the skills of our students, which leads to
an increase in their productivity and output. Keeping these in mind, the Department has always strived to
innovate and introduce new courses from time to time. Starting from 2008-09, the Department has
introduced special courses, which are job-oriented in keeping with the objectives of the University. Many
Diploma and Short-Term Courses have been introduced to fulfil this purpose. A Two-Year Diploma course
in Harmonium was started in 2015-16. In 2017-18, the said course and the decades-old Sangeet Shiromani
Diploma Course of two years duration were restructured from the Annual to the Semester mode, in tune
with the main undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
The Department has also introduced Short-Term Courses in many genres, namely Tabla, Harmonium,
Santoor, Thumri-Dadra, Post-Pallavi compositions in Karnatak music, Veena, Violin and Mridangam, as
also Journalism and Sound Engineering: Techniques and Equipment. Thus, at present, the Department
conducts B.A. (Hons.), M.A., M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes in both Hindustani and Karnatak music,
Diploma and Short-Term Courses of six months (Advance) and four months (Certificate) duration in the
aforesaid and other genres; as also One Year Certificate Course for Foreign nationals in both Hindustani
and Karnatak music.
With a sanctioned strength of forty-one teachers and the contribution of noted personalities, artists and
music lovers, the Department has seen many fruitful and prosperous years with rapid development. Equal

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
emphasis is being laid on both theoretical knowledge and practical orientation. Music being a performing
art, emphasis is laid upon Oral Tradition within classroom teaching. Noted experts are being invited
regularly to share their knowledge with the students. We have the proud privilege of having many reputed
artists, both in the past and at present, in our teaching faculty, who have been a guiding force for our
students. No wonder, quite a few of our alumni are performing artists with Radio and TV grading, while
others are placed in eminent positions in various universities, colleges and many government and private
organizations.
One salient feature of the infrastructure of this Department is its vast and well-equipped library with several
wings. It has recently been upgraded to being partly automated. The reading and lending section of the
library has around 16,000 books, some of them are very old and rare, and provide valuable source material
for regular as well as research-oriented study. The Braille section for the visually challenged has a large
collection of 304 Braille books and relevant material transcribed into Talking Books, which is made
available to the students in the form of CDs. The audio section has a listening room and lending facilities
for over 2, 200 cassettes and CDs. Students are encouraged to listen more and more, so as to absorb the
finer nuances of this great art form.
Apart from this, a separate Computer section with internet connection, printers and e-material facilities has
been set up for the benefit of the teachers and research scholars. Two computers, fitted with the JAWS
software, are allocated for the differently-abled visual students. While developing the deep-rooted base for
Indian classical music, the main aim of this section is to encourage everyone to be acquainted with the
growth, development and research of music worldwide.
The Department has a Museum too, displaying old and rare instruments with their history so as to provide
a valuable source of data for researchers. At present, the studio is upgraded with an archival section, where
priceless archival music of stalwarts and connoisseurs of music, recorded earlier at the Department, is being
made available to students and teachers.
The lending and reference sections of the Library, as well as the Museum, are fitted and monitored with
CCTV cameras. All of the 16,200 books and 2,300 Ph.D. thesis and M.Phil. dissertations have been entered
into the ‘Troodon’ e-resource subscribed by DULS and can be accessed online through the Troodon Library
Management Software (version – 4.0) link http://dulsopac.du.ac.in/catalogue.aspx
The Department is proud to have had on its rolls, students from not just India, but also from abroad, such
as the U.S.A., Japan, China, Mauritius, Thailand, Iran, The Netherlands, Kuwait, South Korea and Fiji, as
well also from neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The Department also enjoys
the distinct achievement of regularly conducting Short Term courses for the students of Soka University
(Japan) and UCLA (U.S.A.) as the MOU has been signed between them and the University of Delhi. There
has also been an exchange programme with the Thummasat University (Thailand). In this sense, the
Department can rightly claim to have attained a unique status vis-à- vis expanding the horizons of Indian
classical music far outside of our borders. As the saying goes, music has no boundaries!
Music being foremost, a practical art, special attention and continuous stress is laid on achieving excellence
in performance, not only amongst the students but also upon the teachers as well. In order to orient them
with the fine art and nuances of performance, the Department organizes concerts from time to time, where
teachers and students alike are given a platform to display the richness of their talent in the league and
company of national-level artists, who are invited to perform. One of the prime concerts organized every
year is the Malhar Utsav to celebrate the spirit of the rainy season with varieties of Malhar ragas. Another

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
notable concert series is the ‘Sadhyayan’, which is a baithak (seated on the floor) organized by the
Department from time to time. The Department also provides a regular forum for Lecture-cum-
demonstrations and workshops, which includes a vast variety of programmes in the vocal, instrumental and
percussion fields of both Hindustani Music and Karnatak Music. Supportive teaching and interaction with
experts enhance the regular classroom teaching programmes.
The Department celebrates the annual festival of Vasantotsav (Saraswati Puja) with zeal and vigour, which
is well attended by renowned artists, scholars and the university community.

YOGA DAY: On 21 June 2022, the Department celebrated International Yoga Day by holding a workshop
on Yoga.
MALHAR UTSAV: The Malhar Utsav is a two-day Annual festival of Indian Classical Music, organized
by the Dept. of Music, University of Delhi, held every year in the month of September. This festival, as the
name suggests, celebrates the spirit of the rainy season. The many varieties of Raga Malhar are rendered
by artists of national repute. Students through such a festival get the opportunity to understand the
importance of seasonal ragas and their treatment in various traditions (Gharanas).
On the 1st of September 2022, the Festival commenced with Mangal Dhawani. The program included a
Welcome Address delivered by Prof. Alka Nagpal, Dean & Head, Faculty of Music & Fine Arts, University
of Delhi. This was followed by the Karnataka Vocal Duet Recital by Vidushi Sudha Raghuraman Vocal,

Botany
Brief History
The Department of Botany was established in the year 1947 with about 50 students and a couple of faculty
members, including the then Head, Dr. J.J. Chinoy. Since then, the Department has expanded to more than
300 post graduate students and research scholars. Dynamic and visionary Professor Panchanan Maheshwari
joined the Department in 1949 and served as Head from 1950-1966 that led to its international fame and
recognition by UGC as a Centre of Advanced Study (CAS) in Botany and as Centre for Excellence in 1963
especially in the field of morphology and embryology. The International Society of Plant Morphologists
(ISPM) was founded by late Prof P. Maheshwari in 1950 that publishes an International Journal –
Phytomorphology. The Delhi University Botanical Society (DUBS) was also founded in 1950 that is till
date active in arranging lectures by eminent scientists, organizing symposia, nature photography, quiz
contests and philately competitions among students and also brings out an Annual Magazine – The
Botanica, that publishes popular / semi-technical articles on diverse areas of plant sciences.
Department of Botany has organized Professor Panchanan Maheshwari Memorial Lecture-2022 on 9th
Nov. 2022.
Department of Botany organized the H.Y. Mohan Ram Memorial Lecture 2022 (Hybrid Mode) Prof.
Douglas E. Soltis, Distinguished Professor, Florida Museum of Natural History and Department of
Biology, University of Florida has delivered a lecture on the topic "BUILDING, USING &
EXPLORING THE GREEN PLANT TREE OF LIFE" on 26th September, 2022.

Brief History
The chemistry teaching started in 1922 with three-constituent colleges St. Stephens, Hindu and Ramjas.
The chemistry department made an inconspicuous beginning in the Viceregal kitchen in Oct 1933. In June-
1949, Professor T. R. Seshadri took over as head of the department and led the department to attaining
international reputation. Since its inception, the Department has distinguished itself as a center for
excellence in teaching and cutting-edge pioneering-research. Several faculty members have joined the
department and contributed significantly in various interdisciplinary fields related to Nanochemistry -
Electrochemistry-Biophysical Chemistry-Supramolecular Chemistry-Organometallic- Coordination
Chemistry - Computational Chemistry-Crystal Engineering-Drug Discovery-Medicinal Chemistry-
Synthetic Organic Chemistry-Sensors-Structural Chemistry-Catalysis-Polyoxometalates, etc. In
recognition of the research achievements, it has received the status of a UGC Centre of Advanced Study-
1963/1965 and a DST-FIST sponsored Department-1982. The Department was recognized as the best
performing Chemistry Department in the country by DST in 2011. Faculty members are engaged in state-
of-the-art research as well as guiding Ph.D.-M.Sc.-and post-doctoral students.
The Department of Chemistry is one of the premier teaching and research Departments in the country. The
spectrum of research areas pursued here is broad, ranging from experimental to theoretical studies on
chemical biology, synthetic methodology development, electrochemistry, polymers, bio-organic,
coordination, green material, medicinal, natural products, nano-, and synthetic chemistry. In the last one-
year, faculty members published more than 200 research papers in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and
74 Ph.D. degrees were awarded. Apart from collaborating internationally, faculty members were invited to
share their work through keynote, plenary and invited lectures in national/international conferences and
various institutions. Extramural research projects secured by faculty facilitated in developing and upgrading
state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and in training young research scholars. Many faculty members were
conferred prestigious medals, honors and awards. Several M.Sc students graduating from the Department
chose to pursue Ph.D. in chemistry in reputed global institutions.

Environmental Studies
Brief History
The history of the Department of Environmental Studies (DES) goes back to 1972 when its earlier avatar –
the Department of Environmental Biology (DEB) was established but became operational only in 1990
imparting education at post-graduate level in the area of environmental biology. Later, the School of
Environmental Studies (SES) was founded in the year 2000 which functioned till 2009 with an
interdisciplinary focus offering M.A., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees. In a major academic restructuring exercise,
the University of Delhi, while maintaining the interdisciplinary nature of the School and its academic
programmes, merged DEB and SES into the present Department of Environmental Studies in 2010.
The restructuring effort in 2009-10 aimed at achieving a critical mass in terms of faculty strength which
was dispersed in various teaching and research units of the university engaged in environmental studies.
The University decided to relocate the faculty members of different units, namely the Centre for
Environmental Management of Degraded Ecosystems (CEMDE), Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies of
Mountain & Hill Environment (CISMHE), DEB, and SES to the newly established DES. The formulation
reflected the synthetic nature of the ‘Environment’ drawing strengths from these multiple units in terms of
the programme and the faculty.
Today, the Department of Environmental Studies draws one of the highest numbers of applicants to its post-
graduate programme and has the highest rejection rate of applicants as per available seats and the second
highest in the University after Plant Molecular Biology. The Department has several research publications
in top-quality journals such as Nature, Science, PNAS etc.
The Department is engaged in teaching and research through its two post-graduate courses in
Environmental Studies (M.A. in Environmental Studies and M.Sc. in Environmental Studies) and Ph.D.
program. Each year, we admit 68 students (M.Sc. 39 and M.A. 29) from varied academic backgrounds
across various disciplines through an all-India entrance test conducted by the National Testing Agency. The
department has Fifteen regular faculty members involved in teaching and research in fundamental and
applied aspects of ecology and environment. The department is actively involved in socially relevant
research connected to national development and environmental health, thereby mitigating issues arising
from environmental degradation. The faculty has successfully secured extramural research projects over
the years, which has helped develop state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and train research scholars leading
to publications in top-tier journals such as Nature, Science, and other high-impact journals. The faculty

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
members are recognized globally, collaborating widely with international experts, and delivering keynote
and plenary lectures on their research findings at National and International Institutions/conferences.
Prof. Inderjit has been awarded the Humboldt Research Award by the Humboldt Foundation, Germany for
2022-23.

Geology
Brief History
The department was the brainchild of Prof. A. G. Jhingran. He established the department in the year 1966
after his retirement as Director General of the Geological Survey of India. In his visionary leadership, the
department was established to expand and disseminate geoscience through teaching, research, and
collaboration to produce highly skilled professionals and academics in the field of geology in particular and
science in overall. Now our department is functioning from three small buildings adjacent to CSL with
offices, class rooms, laboratories, thin-section workshops, and a museum. The faculties of this have
received various prestigious national and international awards viz. Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award (2),
Third World Academy of Sciences (3), Fellow of National Academy of Science (5), Fellow of National
Academy of Sciences, Bangalore (5), Fellow of Academy of Sciences (5) and National Mineral Award (9).
The department itself has been awarded Ford Foundation award, UGC-Special Assistance Program,
COSSIST, DST-FIST, Centre of Advance Studies I, II, and III, and DST PURSE Grant.

Physics and Astrophysics
Brief History
The Physics Department of the University of Delhi (later renamed Department of Physics and Astrophysics)
was set up in 1922. In its early years the Department was influenced by M.N. Saha and when the University
moved to its present campus, the Physic Department was allocated in the former Viceroy's complex, along
with the Chemistry Department, in a building which continues to function as the shared Old Block. Faculty
members in the early days of the Department included Profs. D.S. Kothari, R.C. Majumdar, F.C. Auluck,
N.K. Saha and P.K. Kichlu. The Masters programme started in 1942. Subsequently some experimental
groups were set up in Optics, Nuclear Physics and High Energy Physics, while a Helium Plant and a
telescope tower for a solar observatory were set up. The faculty members of the Department have won
numerous honors and awards over the years.
The Department of Physics and Astrophysics has maintained its position as the topmost QS ranked
university physics department in India. It is also one of the largest physics departments in the country, with
nearly 730 MSc students and over 180 PhD students, in addition to the presently available 37 regular faculty
members. It has sustained its high quality in research, which is evident from nearly 300 research
publications (including books/chapters and conference proceedings) by only its regular faculty members,
apart from those by its students, in international refereed journals during the year. Its faculty received
several national and international grants and participated in several collaborative projects across the globe.
It had also hosted various eminent researchers who gave inspiring lectures to motivate young students. The
department’s Master’s curriculum provides a wide choice of electives, including inter-disciplinary subjects,
to its students. Moreover, the various sorts of methodology applied over time to time to enhance learning
experiences have been much more strategized when the department went from the offline to the
online/blended mode of teaching in recent times. Such strategies include:
Online resources, e.g. lecture notes, links to video lectures or experimental demonstrations, and other study
materials being provided to the students in online classes, either in the Google classrooms platform or in
the Microsoft Teams platform.
Interactive classroom sessions, with instant quizzes, group discussions, as well as time-bound assignments,
with the provision of students’ self-assessment being emphasized.

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
The department, under a vibrant Ph.D. program, has offered a plethora of cutting-edge research topics as
well, in recent times, making the above strategies much relevant for the Ph.D. course-work. Furthermore,
an exclusive departmental portal http://physics.du.ac.in, displaying regular updates on its academic and
other activities, has successfully run online during the year.

Zoology
Brief History
The Department of Zoology is a constituent entity of the Faculty of Science, University of Delhi.Since its
inception in 1947, it has been the foremost centre for learning in all aspects of Animal Sciences in India.
Initial teaching efforts in the department was tailored to train students leading them to a B.Sc. degree and
subsequently Masters and Ph.D programme were rolled out in 1951. The present premises of the department
was built in 1959 resulting in an expansion of research (representing a wide spectrum of disciplines in
Animal Sciences) activities,coinciding with the attraction of eminent faculties to work in the Department.
Though being one of the youngest departments, it was selected as the maiden Centre for Advanced Study
in Zoology by the UGC in recognition to its outstanding research profile in 1963 and it continues to hold
this honour till date.
Department of Zoology is one of the premier research-intensive Departments in the country. Research is
conducted in diverse areas ranging from microbes to human. Faculty members in the last one year have
published 20 research papers in peer reviewed journals of high impact. They have also presented their
findings in various National and International conferences. Many of them have received substantial funding
from various funding agencies both from National and International. The Department of Zoology has been
recognized for DST-FIST, UGC-SAP/CAS schemes. Department imparts M.Sc. teaching and training in
advanced areas of Zoology. M Sc in Zoology was awarded to 129 candidates. The department also trains
students in research through the Ph D programme. 52 Ph.D. degrees has been awarded to the students in
the last one year, and 32 candidates have been admitted to Ph.D. program.

FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
Adult, Continuing Education and Extension
Brief History
The Department of Adult, Continuing Education, and Extension (DACEE), a full-fledged department under
the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Delhi, has had its beginnings as the centre, cell, and full-
fledged department since 1984. The Department offers an M.A. in Lifelong Learning and
Extension Counselling and Guidance and Ph.D. in Adult and Continuing Education. The Department also
offers two-year multidisciplinary internship-based employment-oriented courses with the scope of
international visits and employability in the professional field, voluntary organisations, volunteer
management, English language proficiency courses, and in the university system.
The Department established the Transgender Resource Centre (TRC) in March 2018 and has been
instrumental in mainstreaming the third gender in higher education and society. An interactive session
with Padma Shri awardee Matha B Manjamma Jogathi promoted discussions on livelihood opportunities
for transgender individuals in partnership with Nukkad Cafe in February 2022. The department signed a
Memorandum of Association with the University of Wurzburg, Germany, in 2015, leading to fruitful
student and faculty exchange programs. In 2022, an Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreement was signed
with the University of Wurzburg, enabling two students to participate in a six-month European exchange
programme from October 2022 to March 2023.
DACEE organised a three-day international seminar in January 2023, focusing on the professionalisation
of adult education and lifelong learning in Indian universities. This event drew international participation
and held significance during the university's centenary year. DACEE also organised an Entrepreneurship
Orientation Programme in 2022 with the Institute of Industrial Development (IID) to discuss employability
in adult and lifelong learning.

African Studies
Brief History
The Department of African Studies, established in December 1954, is a distinguished part of the Faculty of
Social Sciences at the University of Delhi. It was inaugurated formally on August 6, 1955, by Pt. Jawaharlal
Nehru to enhance awareness about Africa's rich heritage and contemporary developments. This initiative
represents interdisciplinary teaching and research, offering M.A., M.Phil. (Till 2022) and Ph.D. degrees, as
well as Certificate and Diploma courses in the Swahili language. Founded with the noble vision of nurturing
shared understanding, friendship, and cooperation between India and Africa, the department serves as a
channel for strengthening diplomatic and cultural ties. It surpasses its foundational educational and research
roles to be a catalyst for India-Africa relations, promoting dialogue and collaboration that benefits both
regions.

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024

The Department of African Studies at Delhi University is orchestrating a series of significant academic and
diplomatic activities. A crucial moment was the organization of a one-day international conference on
"India-Africa Relations: Shifting Global Dynamics and Road Ahead" on 14th March 2023, nurturing
dialogue on emerging geopolitical landscapes. Celebrating International Yoga Day on 21st June 2022,
integrating wellness and learning. The Special Centenary Issue of the Indian Journal of African Studies
stands testament to the department’s scholarly contributions. A pact with NCHHD was inked, fortifying
research collaboration between India and Africa. The international lecture celebrating Azadi ka Amrit
Mahotsav offered profound insights into South Sudan’s evolution.

Economics
Brief History
The Delhi School of Economics is one of India’s premier institutes of higher learning. The school was
launched in 1949 by V.K.R.V. Rao, with the support of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It grew out of a
vision that a newly independent nation, which aspired to social and economic progress, needed a vibrant
centre for advanced studies in the social sciences. The department of economics, along with its sister
departments of geography and sociology, has produced many of the country’s leading academics, educators,
administrators, policy makers, corporate leaders and journalists. Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh, and the late Sukhamoy Chakravarty, one of the architects of India’s Five Year
Plans, have all taught here.
During the period April 2022 to March 2023, members of the department continued to contribute to the
field of economics in significant ways. The department continues to be a UGC Centre of Advanced Study,
a distinction it holds since 1965. For the tenth successive year, it has also been ranked the highest amongst
university economics departments in India by Repec, a global electronic archive of working papers and
publications in Economics (http://ideas.repec.org/top/top.india.html). The Department publishes the
journal, founded by Professor V. K. R. V. Rao, Indian Economic Review since 1952.

Political Science
Brief History
The Department of Political Science has successfully completed more than 70 years and has grown as one
of the leading Universities in India attracting students from all across the country and world. With around
40 postgraduate students at its inception in 1952, the Department now has roughly 1000 students enrolled
overall.

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024

The Department is dedicated to integrating Indian perspectives into the dominant Political Science
discourse and emphasizing how Indian conceptualizations of different theories may both broaden the
perspective on any Political Science theme and also reinforce the fundamental principles of democracy,
integration and emancipation. Three-day International Seminar organized by the Department on “Revisiting
the Idea of India: From ‘Swaraj’ to ‘New India’” in May 2022, has set a precedent to unravel the identity,
existence and journey of Swaraj to New India from its own indigenous and authentic lens rather than
through Eurocentric vision. Hon. Sh. Amit Shah ji was the chief guest of the event.

Centre for Genetic Manipulation of Crop Plants
Brief History
The Centre for Genetic Manipulation of Crop Plants (CGMCP) at the University of Delhi, South Campus,
was established in 1996 with financial support from the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). The
main objectives of the grant were the improvement of oilseed mustard for yield, and oil and meal quality.
From its inception in 1996 till 2016, CGMCP received around 50 crores of funding from the NDDB in four
phases of five-year duration.
Currently, R&D work on mustard at CGMCP is being funded by a ‘DBT-UDSC Partnership Centre on
Genetic Manipulation of Brassicas’. R&D work at CGMCP has led to some significant breakthroughs in
the area of genetics and genomics of the crop, and the development of tangible products – productive
hybrids, breeding lines/ varieties containing resistance to white rust, and oil and meal quality traits.
The major activity of the center has been on the genetic improvement of oilseed mustard
(Brassica juncea) through conventional and molecular breeding. The focus is on heterosis breeding,
genomics-assisted breeding, quality breeding, and breeding for resistance to diseases and pests. It involves
extensive work on field breeding, application of microspore-derived doubled haploids (DH) in breeding,
transgenic development, and application of molecular mapping and genome sequencing in marker-assisted
breeding.

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
The Centre’s work has led to the development of some CMS-based and GM-based productive hybrids,
several pure lines with improved quality and white rust resistance lines, and the identification of some
promising combiners for heterosis breeding. The lab has sequenced the genome of seven important oilseed
mustard lines which will help in the identification of candidate genes for some traits of importance and also
help in the diversification of important QTL and genes.

Inter Disciplinary Centre for Plant Genomics
Brief History
The Inter Disciplinary Centre for Plant Genomics (ICPG) was established in 2005 to seek and impart
knowledge on Genomics, to carry out frontline research in the area of Plant Genomics, to generate new
ideas for the acceleration of the pace of progress in Plant Genomics, to apply knowledge gained from basic
concepts in Structural and Functional Genomics for crop improvement, to train and enrich human resources
in the area of Genomics and to provide a platform for interaction at an institutional and inter-institutional
level among scientists specializing in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics,
physics and allied sciences, to bring together the policymakers, civil society and researchers for interaction

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
and need-based development of enabling technologies/information in Genomics and their application. The
Centre is currently located on the 3rd floor of the Biotech Centre in the South Campus of the University.
ICPG members are actively involved in discovering and characterizing genetic and bioinformatic resources
related to plant reproductive development and responses to environmental stress. They have made
significant contributions to global genome sequencing projects for rice, tomato, and wheat. An ICPG-PMB-
led program, funded by DBT, uncovered the functions of genes in rice's floral transition, gametophyte
development, and seed development. The center’s one of the group has been pivotal in establishing the
'Indian Biological Data Centre (IBDC),' India's first national life science data repository. Research on the
seed-specific MADS-box transcriptional regulator, OsMADS29, unveiled regulatory mechanisms during
developmental transitions. Grain chalkiness in rice, a negative agronomic trait linked to rising temperatures
during grain filling, prompted another group to develop a genetic technology that reduces chalkiness (patent
filed). The group also utilizes insights from seed development and starch accumulation to develop cell-line-
based biofactories for starch production using cellular agriculture methods.

Staying true to the core philosophy of uplifting the marginalized communities through the power of social
entrepreneurship, Enactus DCAC worked on 2 projects this past year, namely Project Taaleem and Project
Zaraat.01. Project Taaleem aims to revolutionize the lives of the refugee children by imparting primary
education through a community driven model where the teachers are identified from within the community
itself.
Project Zaraat: With an active team of 83 members aims to minimize post-harvest losses by providing an
affordable, portable, and eco-friendly storage solution to small and marginal farmers. Post-Harvest losses
amounting to 93,000 crores per year, refer to the losses taking place after harvesting but before final
consumption, the primary cause of which is lack of proper storage and transportation facilities. This forces
the farmers to practice distress selling and leads to a loss of bargaining power. Small and marginal farmers,
who constitute close to 86% of the farmer base, bear the brunt of this problem. We have set up 6 Storage
Solutions in our farming communities in the states of Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. We aim to uplift
the farming communities by our sustainable business model and we have reduced post-harvest losses by a
whopping 60%, and minimized energy consumption by 20%. Generating a revenue of more than 2 lakhs
and directly impacting the lives of more than 250 farmers, Zaraat has now become a harbinger of hope for
farming communities across 3 states.
We have collaborated with Indian Agricultural Research Institute and the agricultural Department of
Michigan State University; they are our educational partners.
Media Publications: The college has been featured in various social media publications like Hindustan
Times, Krishi Jagran, The Morning Standard, The Logical Indian, etc. and we have been honoured to

Library Development
The college library has a rich collection of more than 61,819 books, 13 newspapers, 23 periodicals and
magazines, and approximately 529 CDs which provide the latest information and knowledge of various
disciplines. During the academic year 2022-2023, about 1133 books were added to strengthen the library
collection. The library is well equipped with all facilities and resources (print and electronic), such as books,
journals, newspapers, online databases, question papers, a syllabus, a journalism project, UPSC service
material, and book bank collections.
E- Resources facility: It is provided through DULS & N-LIST to its users to access the world’s best
databases, e-journals, e-books etc. Remote access to e-resources of DULS provides access to millions of e-
books, e-journals, and e-articles.
The college library has renewed its membership in the N-LIST programme to access 6,000+ e-journals and
164300+ e-books. Library also provides online user ID and password to students and faculty members for
having access to the N-List database.
KOHA Software: The library has added following new facilities /features in the year 2022-2023.The library
is fully computerised and uses the library management software Koha on a cloud server. The library is
introducing KOHA software to manage the housekeeping operation, acquisition, circulation, stock
verification, and so on. It also provides a web-based OPAC facility that is remotely accessible 24 hours a
day and provides a simple and clear interface for library users to perform tasks such as searching for and
reserving items and suggesting new items. The KOHA software facilitates remote access to data regarding
college library holdings, including their locations, book status, and user membership transactions. The
entire library is under CCTV surveillance.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the library is at the final stage, and the self-circulation services
through RFID will be started very shortly. RFID-based library management systems can automate shelf
management. It is a more efficient way of identifying misplaced books in stock. It helps reduce the time
taken for the stock verification process and also reduces the cost of inventory. It is faster than barcodes, and
multiple books can be issued at a time. Borrowing and returning books can be fully automated with the help
of self-check-in and check-out systems.
The college library is introduced to DSpace (open-source software), which is used as an institutional
repository. DSpace provides a way to manage research materials and publications in a professionally
maintained repository to give them greater visibility and accessibility over time. DSpace is a platform that
allows you to capture items in any format, including text, video, audio, and data.
QR Code Facility: The library has implemented a QR code facility for their patrons / users to pay the fine
online for overdue books.

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024

DESHBANDHU COLLEGE
Deshbandhu College was inaugurated on 3 August 1952 by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the first Education
Minister of India. The college was initially established by the Ministry of Rehabilitation, in memory of Lala
Deshbandhu Gupta, a veteran freedom fighter and MP, and was the first college outside the University
campus. Under the leadership of Dr. Harish Chandra Kathpalia, the founder Principal, and Dr. Shanti
Swarup Bhatnagar, the first Chairman of the Board of Administration of the college, the college began to
rise and shine. In 1955, the Education Ministry took over the College and later in the year 1958, the college
became an integral part of University of Delhi as its Constituent College. College made a humble beginning
with just 72 students and courses like Prep (Arts), Prep (Science) and Pre-medical. The growing demand
for enrolment in the College led to the opening of an evening shift at Deshbandhu College. In 2010,
Deshbandhu (Evening) was converted into a separate college. From 72 students in 1952 to 600 in 1958, we
now have more than 5500 students. The number of teaching faculty rose from an initial 18 to 104 in 1979
to 225 teachers in 2023.

DYAL SINGH EVENING COLLEGE
Brief History of the College
Standing like a beacon in the heart of the city, Dyal Singh Evening College represents a synthesis of
tradition and modernity and it is this characteristic feature of the college that is also encapsulated in its
motto. The rich legacy of the institution can be traced back to the vision of its founder Sardar Dyal Singh
Majithia, remembered as the founder of ‘The Tribune’ and ‘Punjab National Bank’. Hailing from Punjab,
one of the great sons of India, he wanted to infuse a scientific outlook in the minds of the people ridden
with blind faith and superstition. For this purpose Sardar Dyal Singh willed his estate for the establishment
of an educational trust for a secular college, and in the year 1910 Dyal Singh College Lahore was
established.
Post-partition, the Trust set up by him kept his vision alive in India as well. An eminent educationist, late
Dewan Anand Kumar, the former Vice-Chancellor of Punjab University, immortalized Dyal Singh
Majithia, by establishing two academic colleges in his name: one at Karnal and the other at Delhi. College
of Delhi started functioning in the capital as constituent college of the University of Delhi in the year 1958
and established itself as university maintained institution in 1978.
The infrastructure has witnessed expansion owing to the increasing student strength. In addition to the
construction of a New Academic Block which has several class rooms, a new computer lab, a state-of-the-
art Seminar Hall, and an aesthetically designed Auditorium have also been built. College offers six
undergraduate courses in disciplines ranging from languages, history, political science, economics,
commerce to all the major branches of arts and commerce. Presently there are around 3000 students enrolled
in the college. The College provides meaningful, value-based education to students.
Over 100 articles and books were published and presented by teachers in international and national journals.

Miranda House (MH) started its existence as a hostel for women students in 1946 from an old colonial
bungalow situated at 7, Probyn Road (now renamed Chhatra Marg). The college eventually started in 1948,
under the stewardship of Sir Maurice Gwyer, Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi (1938–1950). Ms.
Veda Thakurdas was appointed the first principal. 122 young women were admitted into several
departments: English, Economics, Hindi, History, Philosophy, Mathematics, Sanskrit, Physics and
Zoology. The college pioneered basic science education for women. Today, the college has eighteen
departments that span humanities, social and natural sciences, 200 faculty members and more than 5000
students.
The history of Miranda House chronicles the history of women’s education as well as that of the women’s
movement in post-independence India. The foundation stone for what is now the Hostel building was laid
by Edwina Mountbatten on 7 March 1948. MH has created a space for quality and holistic education in the
Humanities, Social Sciences and basic Sciences that is inclusive and dedicated to turning out sensitized and

P.G.D.A.V. COLLEGE
PGDAV College is one of the oldest colleges of the University of Delhi. PGDAV is an integral part of the
rich heritage of the Dayanand Anglo Vedic movement. The great saint and the founder of Arya Samaj,
Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati's vision for modern global education within the Indian milieu is an inspiring
gospel for our mission at PGDAV. The college proffers a combination of Shiksha and samskara- modern
education embedded in Indian values for the nation-building and welfare of society.
The foundation of PGDAV College was laid on August 17, 1957, at Chitra Gupta Road, presently the
headquarters of Dayanand Anglo Vedic College Managing Committee. The college made a humble
beginning with five rooms, seven teachers, 65 students and two programs. Later on, many other courses,

have been satisfactory, and one of our students was awarded the Gold Medal by the University of Delhi.
Many seminars, talks, and extra-academic activities were organised to celebrate the 200 years of birth of
Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati.
Focus on infrastructural development was the key highlight of this academic year. A new user-interactive,
accessible and bilingual- website has been designed and launched. New administrative block was built to
make student dealings more interactive and hassle free. The staff room was fully renovated to make the
academic environment more effective. A new conference room was built in the library to facilitate research
activities in the college. We built a new environmental science lab and a computer lab to cater to the needs
of students. The new sports complex, well equipped with four floodlights to facilitate day-night matches
and a synthetic running track on the ground's periphery, was inaugurated. We were issued a certificate of
Sustainable Campus. The college has also been declared as a zero-waste management institute by the
Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

P.G.D.A.V. COLLEGE (EVENING)
PGDAV College (Eve) is an illustrious member of the vast DAV family - the largest non-government
educational organization in the country. It derives its vision from the great ideas on education propounded

movement which began with the founding of the ‘Dayanand Anglo Vedic College Trust and Management
Society’ at Lahore in 1886. The Evening Classes were started on 18 July 1958 with a mission to provide
quality higher education.
DAV institutions derive their inspiration from the Vedas, the oldest sources of knowledge in the world. A
new academic session starts with a yajna, seeking guidance in our journey toward self-discovery, maturity,
and learning. Yajna is our conscious choice in our pursuit of more. The objective of the college is not just
to help the students to excel academically but to lead them to an overall development so that they mature
into responsible human beings and citizens. The college subscribes to the view that the aim of education is
to imbibe values leading to good character.

the natural talent and creative skills of the students for their holistic personality development. In pursuance
of this idea, ‘Legal Awareness’ course was started in the college in 2016. Since then, a total of 12 batches
have been completed. The college wishes to provide the students with an ideal, stress-free atmosphere,
proper guidance, and counseling (academic as well as non-academic). For this purpose, the college has been
following the mentor-mentee practice for the last several years. The system has provided the students with
emotional as well as physical support whenever required. P.G.D.A.V. College (Evening) formed the Youth
Parliament Society in May 2022 with the aim of spreading the spirit of democracy amongst the students.

at a hillock called Kala Pahad which later came to be called as Anand Parbat. After the handing over of
Anand Parbat to the British Army for military use during the World War II, Ramjas College was relocated
to its present location in the year 1950. This new building was inaugurated in 1951 by Dr. Rajendra Prasad,
the first president of India. The College also takes pride in having been associated with Dr. B. R. Ambedkar,
the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, who adorned the Governing Body of this institution. The
students of Ramjas College joined the Indian independence movement and actively participated in the Quit
India Movement of 1942. The college also played a key role in several new initiatives at the university level
such as the conception of the idea leading to the formation of Staff Council as a statutory body in all
affiliated colleges of Delhi University. In the year 2017, a grand celebration was organized to commemorate
the journey of 100 years by Ramjas College and subsequently the Department of Posts, Government of
India released a postage stamp to mark the centenary of the institution.
Located in the north campus of Delhi University, it attracts the talents from far and wide across the globe.
This renowned temple of learning for the period covering more than a century holds credit of making leaders
who have left their imprints in different spheres of life. The college maintains an efficient academic
ecosystem by harnessing the potential of human resources of the students, faculties and non-teaching staff.
This has helped in creating a healthy teaching-learning environment at this home for the pursuit of
knowledge.
The heritage building of the college with its added new structures equipped with essential facilities, provide
an ideal atmosphere for teaching, research and conducting outreach programmes. The institution is gifted
with a spacious campus, state-of-the-art infrastructure, dedicated faculty and non-teaching staff marching
together towards integrating the principles, values and practices of sustainable development into all aspects
of teaching and learning. The college provides diverse forms of opportunities to students through various
clubs and societies in order to enhance their knowledge and skills, reach excellence in different fields, and
achieve all-round development. It has adequate facilities supported by advanced technology which makes
it a premier institute for learning.

the data. This software stores difficult-to-obtain, low circulation reports and papers. The record is kept
digitally to streamline the book bank; It also serves the purpose of avoiding hassle in figuring out the number
of books issued as well as books which haven't been issued. To ensure that students can access the books
in a hassle-free manner, they can check the availability of books using library search engine. The library
houses more than sixty thousand books which are distributed and divided into various sections depending
upon the subject they belong to. There are wide variety of books covering various disciplines such as
Environmental Science, Electronic Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Hindi, English etc. Each
year several new books are added to the existing book bank. The library has separate funds to replenish
with new books each year, the fund is allocated to each department depending upon the number of students.
We have spacious reading room of the library which can accommodate more than 100 students at a time.
For faculty members there is a separate reading room with seating capacity of 15 people at a time. Our

borrowed and deposited books are maintained. The college library is also equipped with more than a
thousand laptops for students and faculty. The laptops can be borrowed by the students and they have to
return them before the commencement of the semester examination. The initiative of giving the laptop to
the students was taken in the academic year 2013-14, when Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP)
was introduced in the University of Delhi, though it was called back in the next year. The college has a
library committee comprising of officials from the library. The college bursar, all the respective teacher in

has been our flagship project since inception. The projects help to give real life experience and exposure of
all facets of social entrepreneurship and management to its members, including increasing financial and
entrepreneurial literacy.
The basic aim of PROJECT ANNAPOORNA is Women Empowerment through Social Entrepreneurship,
and it has enabled homemakers, to establish a tiffin service business. The student team act as management
consultants and have provided the necessary ecosystem for enabling a domestic activity to take the form of
a flourishing business. The Society has honed the business skills of these homemakers and has thus not
only helped to make them self-reliant and financially empowered, but is also instrumental in improving the
financial condition of their families.

entrepreneurship for hygienic sanitation. Project ISHTA is aimed at enabling complete, inexpensive public
hygiene for women. We have created a convenient, hygienic and waterproof toilet seat cover which fits all
seats and gives complete coverage and protection. The project complements the government’s vision of
“SWACHH BHARAT” as the proceeds from out toilet seat covers are used for the construction of public
toilets in underserviced regions. Clean is also green. ISHTA is minimalistic and follows 3 R’s- ‘Reduce’
the use of paper, ‘Redeploy’ proceeds for sanitation, and use ‘Recyclable’ material for safe disposal.
Project Katran aims to reduce waste in the fashion industry by utilizing scrap cloth materials that are
discarded by factories and tailoring shops. It is based on principles of recycling and upcycling and helps to
reduce and recycle waste and create employment opportunities for women.

SRI GURU TEGH BAHADUR KHALSA COLLEGE
Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, a constituent college of the University of Delhi, was established in
1951 and is maintained by the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC), a statutory body
established under an act of the Parliament of India. The college started in a school building in Dev Nagar
and shifted to its present premises in North Campus in 1973. The focus of the College at the time of
inception was to ensure a comprehensive social transformation through access to quality education, in
particular to young Punjabi Refugees of Partition in 1947, and to conserve and promote Punjabi language,
culture, and heritage. The College is named after the Ninth Guru - Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur, who sacrificed
his life to uphold secular values, and is an institution with a cosmopolitan environment and progressive
outlook.

SRI VENKATESWARA COLLEGE
The desire to share knowledge and the dream to make education accessible to all brought together three
visionaries: Smt Durgabai Deshmukh, Shri K. L. Rao, and Shri C. Anna Rao in the early decades of India’s
independence to create a dynamic space for knowledge sharing. The aim was to blend traditional values,
learning with modern outlook and rationale in Delhi. This dream blossomed into reality with the aid and
encouragement rendered by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and Sri Venkateswara College made
its modest beginnings in Andhra Education Society in 1961. The foundation stone of Sri Venkateswara
College was laid in the year 1961 by eminent Indian philosopher and statesman Dr. Sarvepalli
Radhakrishnan. Within a few years of acquiring its new campus, and led by its principal V Krishnamoorthy,
the college introduced honors courses in arts and science. In 1973 the University of Delhi recognized it as
one of its constituent colleges, paving the way for future expansion. This year i.e 2023, marks 62 years for
this prestigious institution, which has proudly stood tall through the last many decades. Sri Venkateswara
College has over the years acquired an indomitable place in the Indian education map.
Sri Venkateswara College, ranked 13th nationally by NIRF in 2023 and awarded an A+ grade by NAAC.
It celebrated its Diamond Jubilee Valedictory Function, attended by notable dignitaries including Shri
Dharmendra Pradhan, the Minister of Education, and Prof. Yogesh Singh, Vice Chancellor of Delhi
University. The college has been recognized for its commitment to sustainability and holistic development,
with faculty members receiving prestigious awards, including the ‘Periyar Award’ and nominations for the
Sustainable Tourism Award. The college has made significant infrastructural advancements, promoting the
use of alternative energy sources like solar power and inaugurating Rain Water Harvesting Structures.
Several MOUs have been signed for scientific and academic collaboration with institutions like INMAS,
Delhi, and Shriram Institute for Industrial Research. The college has also organized numerous events to
foster national pride and responsible citizenship, including voter registration drives and international
forums, such as an India-Australia meeting on internationalizing higher education, featuring prominent
figures like Jason Clare and cricketer Adam Gilchrist. These initiatives underscore the college's dedication
to academic excellence, environmental responsibility, and civic engagement.

ST. STEPHEN’S COLLEGE
St. Stephen’s College was founded on 1 February 1881 by the Cambridge Mission to Delhi in conjunction
with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. The Cambridge Mission comprised a number of Dons
from various colleges at Cambridge University, and one of them, the later Canon Samuel Scott Allnut was
the founder and the first Principal of the College. In the early years, college occupied rented premises in
two mansions built in the old Mughal style in the bylanes of Chandni Chowk, opposite the present Central
Bank Building. The college was housed in Shish Mahal in Katra Khushhal Rai in Kinnari Bazar from 1881

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
to 1890. On 8 December 1891 it moved to its own building designed by Col (later Sir) Swinton Jacob, Chief
Engineer of Jaipur State. These buildings stand both sides of the road in Kashmere Gate, close to the historic
St. James Church. On 1 October 1941, the college occupied its present home in the Delhi University
Enclave. Both teachers and students moving out of the college into the larger world outside have made
significant contributions to various walks of our natural life: education, art, science, law, commerce,
administration, sports, journalism and politics.
College has been accredited by NAAC with the top rank of A++ and also participated in the NIRF Ranking
process. The four-year old NCC contingent continued to win top accolades at the national level. Admissions
were conducted following CUET procedures. Admissions to College, which is a Christian Minority
Institution, were conducted online. Offline classes began and exams were conducted as per the DU
Calendar. College participated in the centenary celebrations of the University of Delhi, putting up a much-
visited stall at the University Rugby Stadium. Two students, Syed Muhammed Khalid and Vedanta Thapar,
were selected for the Rhodes scholarships this past year. In the sporting arena our students have fared well
and while there are many who’ve worked hard, participated and won medals here are the names of just a
few who’ve done the country, the University, the College and themselves proud by their achievements.

Library Development
The varied facilities in the library include web-based information services, using web 2.0 tools, online
services and e-resources such as mobile library, wherein the library website is made mobile compatible and
bilingual (Hindi and English). Moreover, with the implementation of biometrics and RFID, the library is in
the process of eliminating the redundant process of readers’ tickets which will help in stock verification
and rectification of mid-shelved books.
The total number of books is 66120 at present. The library subscribes to 16 print journals, and 10
newspapers. It is also equipped with audio-visual media like CDs, DVDs and audio cassettes, and Braille
books in its collection for visually challenged students.
Also, the library provides access to various e-resources through the DULS platform. Millions of journals,
ebooks, and many online databases are available through the e-shodhsindhu of DULS. The electronic
resource management is done through DULS and NList and J-Gate helps in federated search. The Library
has been trying to develop an institutional repository of faculty publications and the digital question paper
archive, for posterity.
Initiatives such as a book drop facility to cut down the time taken to return the books, RFID implementation,
honorary content writing internship to students for the Library's social media handle, honorary internship
for library science graduates, biometric system for check-in and check-out of books (data being recorded
in ILMS), have been implemented.
New information service like ‘e-Vaartalaap’ has been initiated and is being pilot-tested. This enables the
library staff to respond to the queries of the members in real time mode (virtually).
Also recording of visitors’ footfall digitally for analyzing the statistics of usage of the library has been done
along with maintenance of online public access catalog (OPAC).

ZAKIR HUSAIN DELHI COLLEGE
The journey of Zakir Husain Delhi college started as the Oriental College for literature, science and art in
1792. In 1824, the institution was renamed Delhi College by the British East India Company’s government.
By the early twentieth century it became the center of vibrant scientific and literary intellectual activities
that would be referred to as the ‘Delhi Renaissance’. The British authorities closed the institution after the
1857 revolt. Between 1864 and 1871 intermediate B.A. and M.A. classes commenced. However the British
government transferred the Delhi Oriental College to Lahore in 1877. It was reconstituted as the Anglo-
Arabic Intermediate College in 1924. It was affiliated to Delhi University in 1925 and became one of its
constituent degree colleges in 1929. The college was attacked and set on fire by mobs following the
partition. Somehow, the library and office records were saved. With the support of Dr. Zakir Husain and
others, the Delhi College was revived in 1948. In 1975, the college was renamed Dr Zakir Husain to honour
his contribution to the college. In 1986, the college campus was shifted to its present location, Jawaharlal
Nehru Marg. In 2010 the college was renamed Zakir Husain Delhi College.
The college has received an Indian patent for Solar water distiller. Our college has been awarded DBT- Star
College Scheme sponsored by Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology,
Government of India. Gandhi Study Circle launched a short-term skill enhancement and value-making
course in collaboration with Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, Union Ministry of Culture. Dr B.R.

ZAKIR HUSAIN DELHI COLLEGE (EVENING)
Zakir Husain Delhi College, one of the oldest and most prestigious colleges in Delhi, comes with the legacy
of a rich and a historically significant past. The institution traces its origins back to a Madrasa, founded by
Ghaziuddin Firoz Jung that went on to become one of Delhi’s leading places of learning. Until the late
eighteenth century, the Madrasa was located near a Mosque just outside Ajmeri Gate, one of the gates of
the walled city of Shahjahanabad. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, the old building was designed with all
the elements of a Madrasa-Mosque, Maktaba, a library and a double tier of Hujras for the students. The

EC (1269) - 08.03.2024
Madrasa, at that time, functioned as a traditional Muslim institution of higher learning with Arabic and
Persian being taught to a small number of students.
The British took over Delhi in 1803, and this humble abode of learning became Delhi College, also
popularly known as 'Dilli College' in 1825. The institution remained one of the centres of the Delhi
Renaissance during 1830-40s. It was closed down after the War of Independence in 1857, only to open two
decades later in 1877, when it was merged with the Government College of Lahore.
Initially, Arabic and Persian were the main languages taught at the Madrasa. However, with the
establishment of British rule across the country, there was an increasing desire for teaching-learning of
English. The College, however, retained Urdu as medium of studies with special emphasis on Arabic,
Persian and Sanskrit. One of the salient features of Delhi College was that modern subjects like
Mathematics, Geometry, Philosophy, and Physics, amongst other sciences were taught in Urdu. The college
set up the Delhi Vernacular Society in 1832 for the translation of scientific treatises, Greek classics and
Persian works into Urdu. The teachers and the students became the centre of a scientific and literary
flowering that C.F. Andrew’s referred to as ‘the Delhi Renaissance.
The old Delhi College progressed with Oriental and Western education, a step to uphold secularization and
modernization because its purpose was to provide both traditional and modern knowledge to the students.
With the advancement of science, the College was able to create an atmosphere of rationality to challenge
shackles of conservatism. As has been said by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan “We should have philosophy in our
right hand, Natural Science in the left and the crown of ‘Kalma-e-Tayyaba’ on our head”.
The partition of India, in 1947, led to the brief closure of the College. But the strenuous efforts of Mirza
Mehmood Begg, a thorough philanthropist and a visionary in the field of education, led to the revival of
Delhi College. With the cooperation of a few old and new members of the faculty and patrons, he instilled
a new lease of life in the College. Begg’s position as the Principal of the college ensured a modest beginning
in 1947 with 200-250 students which later flowered into a fully-fledged institution accommodating more
than a thousand students. It was under his stewardship that evening classes were started in 1958 to enable
employed youth to continue their education. Thus, the Evening College catered to a wide variety and a
relatively bigger number of students. In the mid-1970s, the college suffered from an absolute cash crunch
and financial crisis, and was subsequently handed over to the Zakir Husain Memorial Trust. The new name
of the college was Zakir Husain College in 1975.
The Evening College began with a course called Preparatory Class. It received a grant from the UGC in

the debit balance should appear on the Assets side of the Balance Sheet as "Receivables", in Schedule-8 Loans, Advances & Deposits.
