Lakshmibai College, one of the premier institutions of higher education
for women was founded in 1965 in memory of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi,
the great warrior, patroit and freedom fighter. It is a constituent
college of the University of Delhi and is managed by the Governing
Body nominated by the University of Delhi on the recommendation
of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi. The College
has its own building with spacious lawns and staff quarters. It
has a locational advantage by having close proximity to the University
of Delhi. It is surrounded by picturesque 'Ashoka Gardens' in front
and a belt of green nurseries and 'Picnic-Hut – a tourist resort,
on the right side.
Lakshmibai College is proud of the academic commitment of its faculty
which has several achievements to its credit and has made valuable
contribution to the creation of congenial academic ethos. Our students
are deeply conscious of the leadership potential of women and it
is our faith that their feminism will inspire them to build a community
devoid of adverse discrimination and oppression.
Students creativity is evident in wide ranging co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities organized by the various societies and
associations working under the guidance of staff advisors. The sports
wing of the College is vigorous and vibrant, winning many trophies
and medals and fostering the spirit of healthy competition. The
NCC cadets have enthusiastically participated in training and adventure
camps and have won distinctions in mountaineering, firing and parasailing.
One of our cadets, successfully climbed Sudershan Peak (21,500 feet)
in 1995. The National Service Scheme wing of the college has won
tremendous acclaim through dedicated community service by trying
to reach out to the under-privileged and handicapped sections of
the society and creating in our volunteers a sense of dedicated
service.
As we look back into the history of the last 37 years we feel a
sense of pride and satisfaction that the college has carved a niche
for itself in the field of education in liberal arts and social
sciences for women. The college is an extended college with about
2300 students on rolls. The college utilises its resources to the
optimum. On Sundays and other holidays, it is a teaching centre
of the Non-Collegiate Women's Education Board.
We are committed to academic excellence and inculcate amongst our
students the values of humanism, training for self goverance and
overall development of their personality. Energy and vitality for
college activities comes from a collective sense of purpose, comradeship
and social solidarity. We feel a sense of satisfaction and pride
that we have grown not only in size, but have been catering to the
needs of the society for higher education, and meeting to the best
of our ability, the challenges of our modern society.
