Message from the Vice-Chancellor
Welcome to the Universitiy of Delhi!
Ever since its inception in 1922, the University of Delhi (informally known as Delhi
University or DU) has been at the forefront of teaching-learning in diverse areas of
higher education. The University offers exceptional educational opportunities
straddling a wide range of programmes and advanced curricula taught by renowned
faculty. Besides offering an avant-garde pedagogy, the University offers
comprehensive extracurricular activities, and an excellent infrastructure. The
University‘s robust educational enterprise comprising 90 Colleges 16 Faculties, 87
Departments, and 11 Centres is spread across North and South campuses covering
Delhi‘s geography.
Endowed with a vast pool of intellectual resources in a variety of fields of learning, the University is a proud
alma mater of many an alumnus, who has distinguished themselves in different spheres of human endeavour.
Presidents of four nations have graduated from our University; one of our Prime Ministers graduated from the
University, while another one decorated its faculty. Some of India‘s best known litterateurs, intellectuals,
scientists, economists, legal luminaries, civil servants, defence personnel, politicians, sports persons, film
personalities and business leaders have been students of DU or have served as its faculty members.
University of Delhi is a principal global leader in knowledge creation and dissemination. We remain devoted to
educating future leaders of the 21st century through the transformative power of liberal arts, social sciences and
cutting edge science and technology education and research. The University believes in building and sustaining
an academic ambience that enables students realize their potential without fear or favour. Also, our endeavour
to reach out to students across length and breadth of our nation is reflected in our continuous efforts to make the
University accessible to all. In doing so, we are committed to transparency to the level of default and leave no
stone unturned in ensuring that our systems remain completely insulated from any wrong-doing.
Our commitment to the sensitivities of society in terms of various constitutional provisions is absolute. While
the University has in place a range of regulatory policies and practices, we go beyond the call of these
obligations to meet societal aspirations. The University campuses provide a salubrious, secure, and a barrier-
free environment for the independence, convenience and safety of our students. We, at the University of Delhi,
hold dear the institutional and individual attributes such as honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion, altruism,
ethical practices and lifelong learning. Upholding our core cultural philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the
world is one family), the University is committed to nation building with firm adherence to universal values,
brotherhood and abjuring violence.
I invite you to become an integral part of this vibrant and thrilling journey of endless opportunities at the
University. I am confident that the values reflected in the University‘s motto – Nishtha Dhriti Satyam (firm
devotion to truth) shall inspire you forever. I am hopeful that after making to the student fraternity of the
University, you will enrich yourself, grow as well as blend into your chosen roles in life productively in a
fulfilling manner for yourself and the larger humanity. I look forward to your pleasant, healthy and fruitful stay
at the University.

Best wishes
Yogesh Tyagi
