- SHELLY ANAND

It takes hard work, academic excellence and a will to experiment and think out-of-the-box for any educational institution to top the ranks consistently. More so, when the higher education field in the country is getting more and more competitive year after year. For Hindu College, University of Delhi, it seems more the norm than the exception to figure right on top of the toppers chart.

There is a different energy on the campus and in the classrooms in this post-pandemic period with faculty and students working together in perfect symphony. The faculty gives their best in instilling enterprise in the students, and that shows in the number of collaborations, research initiatives and tie-ups. The college is one of the most sought-after institutions in the University of Delhi, and gets the highest number of applicants for its BSc (Hons) Physics and BSc (Hons) Chemistry programmes. A major attraction for students is the many national and international collaborations with eminent academic institutes as well as industries across the globe. Recently, the college was awarded the prestigious 'Going Global Exploratory Partnership' grant by the British Council in collaboration with the University of York, UK, University of Ladakh and University of Delhi for a project titled 'Green Chemistry Education Today for a Better Tomorrow'. It has completed the first round of mandatory activities inscribed in the grant's clauses (including curriculum designing), which has allowed it to apply for a higher quantum of funds that will facilitate international student exchanges.
