Zakir Husain Delhi College Information

Zakir Husain Delhi College has always stood steadfast as a champion of some basic values which have acquired greater relevance in contemporary times. The college in its long history has accommodated students and faculty of different communities. Gradually it has evolved a culture of understanding and respect for difference of caste, creed and religion. On entering the college every year new students from the “walled city”, from across the river, as also from the South and North of Delhi and other parts of the country, walk into an ambience of composite bearing and harmony. Education for us in this college is not a mere pursuit for information: what we strive for is a holistic development of character with a commitment to building a strong knowledge base. For this, our teachers, students and employees work together in close association. Not only does the college uphold traditional values of courtesy and regard for the older and the weak, there is also a sensitive concern for justice and a sense of fairness. The alertness to gender equality too is demonstrated amply through a number of awareness programmes organized in the college. As a result there is an atmosphere of good cheer rather than stress on the campus. In deed and spirit we “live by love”.
