Let me now briefly introduce our College. Our College is a constituent College of University of Delhi. As a co-educational institute, it was established by the Government of NCT of Delhi in 1991 to cater to the needs of higher education in a school building of Geeta Colony. In 2001, the College shifted to the present building, the foundation stone of which was laid by the then Hon’ble Vice-President of India (Hon’ble Shri K. R. Narayanan Ji). It is spread over 9 acres including a residential area having 12 staff quarters. With a total student strength of about 3300 (41% girl students), it has got about 136 faculty members including Ad-hocs and Guests, and the supporting staff comprising 79 members in addition to the few outsourced staff (8). The College offers a number of professional and honours courses like Business Economics, Hindi Journalism and Mass Communication, Applied Psychology, Social Work, Commerce, Economics, Hindi, Geography and History in addition to B.A.(Programme), B.Com and Urdu as an elective subject. Three other courses are in the pipeline. The College is privileged to have WUS Health Centre in its premises to look after the healthcare needs of College students and the staff of University of Delhi. Our College also supplements the efforts of the University and serves community by meeting the needs of higher education of the young population. It is one of the Regional-cum-Study Centres to facilitate undergraduate teaching for School of Open Learning (SOL), and for girl students of Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB, University of Delhi). Our College also acts as one of the Centres of Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development, Ministry of Youth Affairs & 3 Preliminary draft for restricted private use & not to be quoted Sports, Tamil Nadu, that offers a one year Post Graduate Diploma in Youth Development (PGDYD). Thanks to Dr. Arvind Kumar, Dr. D.K. Pandeya and Dr. Ravindra Singh who have been coordinating these programmes. The College continues to be one of the 20 Earthquake Strong Ground Motion Stations in Delhi for recording and monitoring earthquakes in Delhi under the project jointly handled by Director of Seismology Division (DST)-DU-IIT (Roorkee). The College constantly strives to improve its Good Practices, for which ‘Special Commendation Prize’ was awarded by University of Delhi in 2015. The College has registered well in time and much ahead of others with GeM for general purchases and PFMS for government grants. It celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 2015-16, and it is now NAAC accredited with B+ grade. Let us quickly review the College activities. During the last year, the College took many academic, administrative and infrastructural initiatives in order to improve the teaching and learning outcomes. This year, the College has added 2nd Floor to the teaching block besides creating Print Media, Radio Recording and Work Station Labs. The College has also been awarded Political Science (H) and Punjabi as an elective subject. The College starts its regular academic life while organising an Open Day Session followed by an Orientation Programme. It was organised on 19th July 2019 to welcome the newly admitted young students. Ms. Gagandeep Kaur (renowned child and clinical psychologist), Mr. S.K. Sharma (advocate and management consultant) and Mr. Girish Nishana (Senior Correspondent, DD News) graced the occasion and enlightened the young students about the role of the college education in their life and what they can achieve by pursuing studies with hard work and dedication. Thanks to Dr. Sarla Bhardwaj and Dr. M.S. Vats. Our College is in the name of Bharat Ratna Baba Saheb, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar. He was a multi-faceted personality, a great legal luminary, known as Father of the Indian Constitution, a social scientist par excellence, a prolific writer and an editor, a great social reformer and a brilliant orator. In order to acknowledge and create awareness among students and society about his life and mission, academic work and his contribution towards improving the lot of socially disadvantaged sections of population and building a new India based on the principles of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity, the College started Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar Memorial Lecture Series in 2007 (the year, I joined) on the occasion of his birth anniversary. Since then, it has been continuing. The inaugural Baba Saheb Memorial lecture was delivered by Prof. Namvar Singh on 14th April 2007.
